Wednesday Printmaking with Sue Brown

This 10 week course explores a variety of collagraph techniques and related inking processes.

Collagraph is an intaglio printmaking process that creates rich textural images using tile cement, carborundum and wood glue, allowing for creative experimentation. Each term will explore a different aspect of platemaking and inking. The course is suitable for beginners and experienced artists who want to add new techniques to their practice.

 

Spring Term, 15 January.

Combining collagraph with dry point and monoprint.

The Spring term will be exploring combining simply made collagraph plates with other printmaking techniques. Learn how to register images and create layers.

We will cover simple plate making, dry point and mono printing together with gum arabic transfer printing.

After 5 weeks of mastering these processes there will be time to create a personalised print putting into practice everything learnt in earlier weeks.
