Dive into the world of collagraph printmaking in this beginner-friendly class as you upcycle items from the recycling bin and transform them into unique plates that you'll then ink and print to create stunning textural works of art.

Collagraphs are a fun way to explore texture through printmaking. No printmaking experience is necessary. Participants will learn about different methods of making textured plates with materials that are recycled ( cardboard, matte board, tetrapak) in order to make their plates in the first session. In the second session we will focus on printing the collagraph plates using intaglio inking, relief inking or combination of both and sending them through the printing press. We'll also examine how to hand color to collagraph prints by viewing some artist examples.
