Participants will create a collagraph plate from recycled cardboard and other thin materials. We will apply three water-based ink colors using brayers then print the plates by hand with the use of home-made barens.
‘Collagraph’ is derived from the Greek ‘colla’, meaning glue, and ‘graph,’ meaning to draw. A collograph is essentially a collage of materials of various textures glued on to a printing plate, often a thin wood or cardboard.
