Colour and texture in Collagraph.

This term will be all about texture and vibrant colour to cheer ourselves up during the gloomy days of January.

Using materials sourced from our local DIY store we will explore textured surfaces, over print with colour and develop a touch of monoprinting into the finished suite of prints.
