Collagraph : Printmaking with Junk and Gunk
Sue Lowe

Collagraph, as its name suggests, is a printmaking technique based around collage. Prints are taken from plates that are constructed from textured materials. A vast range of cheap, recycled materials can be used and transformed in collagraph to produce diverse, colourful and textured images. Constructing the plates is very low-tech, making it an attractive option for those with limited access to studio facilities.
This course will show you the richness of collagraph, you will learn about appropriate materials and how to design and construct collagraph ‘plates’ for printing. You will be shown how to ink plates and print them on the etching presses. You will make a number of prints exploring colour and texture.
