| 'Hello Monet' Collagraph print by Ivana Svabic Cannon |
In a collagraph, the plate is built up and manipulated by the artist, using a collage-like process which combines a large array of materials such as glue, card, carborundum, sawdust, paints, filler, string, fabric and more. The artist can also draw lines into the paint or plaster before it hardens. As a result, the plate may print as both relief and intaglio. Collagraph prints are inked and printed in a similar manner to an etching.
Making Collagraphs is for artists who enjoy mix-media; printing collagraph plates reveals unexpectedly truly magical images, quite interesting for developing new free illustrating styles.

Hi Ivana, I would have loved to come on this course, but unfortunately I can't make the dates. Any plans for any more later in the year?
