I'm an artist that loves collagraph printmaking. Collagraphy is a really versatile printing process in which a textured plate is inked up and put through a press. Different textures hold varying amounts of ink and print different tones. Anything with a low relief texture can be stuck down and used: wallpaper, leaves, fabrics, tapes and threads etc. The collagraph plate is then varnished and can be printed intaglio or relief. This is our method of creating and printing collagraph plates intaglio. Intaglio printing is when the image is pressed into the page, the ink fills up all the grooves in your collagraph plate. You can use quite deep grooves but be careful not to make them too thin or they will break! Relief printing is where you take your collagraph plate to the press and the ink only fills the positive shapes in your collagraph. I will cover all this and much more in my adventures in collagraphy.
