Areas to be covered
---------------------
COLLAGRAPHS, which essentially is a printmaking plate ( most often initially made of board or thin wood) onto which you make a form of 'collage' of thin materials such as torn paper, textured paper, lace, dried plant materials, fabrics of all sorts, string, threads, fibres.
YOU are invited to bring along some items to potentially include in the making of your own collagraph.
MONOPRINTS
A very immediate printmaking medium that essentially constitutes using ink applied to a plate surface. This is then run through the etching press. It may be executed through a range of approaches which include drawing, painting, wiping away and masking.............
DRYPOINT
Drypoint etching essentially is a simple and direct method of intaglio, where the surface of the plate is scratched into to produce a burr, which then holds the ink.
It can also be combined with collagraph and/or monoprinting.
RELIEF PRINTING
Relief printing may be conducted using card whereby a scalpel knife is used to 'cut' the image into the surface. Stripping off layers of the card can produce areas of tone and texture.
