In this playful approach to printmaking, students will learn to create their own collagraph plates by gluing found materials to thin pieces of cardboard and then printing them using various hand burnishing techniques that can later be duplicated at home. Through informal discussions, students will also learn about other aspects of the printmaking process, including composition, registration and editioning. Each student will leave the workshop with a unique print and the basics for printing more!
Materials to Bring:
- Pencils; paper/sketch book; scissors; disposable brush (approx. 1”)
- A variety of THIN elements with which to create their collagraphs – elements that will be glued to the plate to create the image – including both organic and in-organic materials. • EG: plastic mesh, string/yarn, fabric, leaves, grasses, etc.
- Please wear clothing that can get ink and glue on it or bring a work-shirt or apron. Close-toed shoes are best.
