Yasuyo Tanaka, Seeking 1, Collagraph
A Collograph (or collagraph) is a print made from a collage of various materials glued together on cardboard, wooden board and plexiglass. The process is additive and does not use acids or strong solvents to make prints. This workshop will explore different ways to create plates using acrylic mediums, fabric, sand and found objects. Students will learn basic relief, intaglio and embossing techniques for an etching press, translating plates into dimensional prints. All participants are encouraged to experiment and discover their own collagraph methods. All skill levels are welcome.
