About Collagraph Summer Course

Listed Under Arts and Crafts Events / Learning Events / Workshops Events

Join artist and printmaker Gillian Murray to develop with ample time your collagraph skills. This three day course will give plenty of opportunities to explore this technique and develop your work. The first day will show you how to make and print your plate, and the subsequent two days will give you time to develop the technique on new plates experimenting with chine collé, relief rolls, blind emboss and colours.

A collagraph print is an impression taken from a collaged and textured plate. The plate in this case is mountboard on which your image is constructed using a variety of textured materials such as embossed wallpaper, cut out shapes, stickers, stamps, tissue, etc as well as gesso, glue, grit and cutting to make marks on the mountboard. Once finished and sealed with varnish, the plate is inked up and printed through an etching press. This creates rich textures and an embossed surface.
