Class Description

Come and join us for a Collagraph Workshop where participants will delve into the fascinating world of collage and printmaking. Collagraphy is a versatile and accessible printmaking technique that involves creating textured printing plates from various materials. Throughout the workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of collagraphy, explore different plate-making techniques, and experiment with inking and printing to produce unique and expressive prints. Sok will also demonstrate his techniques for making graphite transfer collagraph pressure prints. Key Terms: Collagraphy: printmaking technique where materials are affixed to a surface like cardboard to create a plate, which, when inked, transfers a design onto paper, resulting in a uniquely textured print. Pressure Print: involves transferring an image onto paper by applying pressure to an inked plate, allowing artists to experiment with pressure levels for unique textures, embossment, and other effects.
