COLLAGRAPH PRINTMAKING £40
with Nicki Dennett
Make your own beautiful collagraph prints to take home. These can be made into cards for a special someone or mounted and framed for your wall.
Throughout the morning we will create our printing plates using carborundum grit to give random or painterly areas, scratching and ripping the surface to give depth and tone and fine drypoint lines to give detail if you wish.
In the afternoon we will print the plates using colourful water based inks. Collaged papers can be incorporated at this stage adding extra texture and interest to your print.
Please bring an old shirt or apron to protect your clothing.
Places can be booked in person at Debbie Bryan Shop & Studio, 18 St. Mary's Gate, The Lace Market, Nottingham, or over the phone 0115 9507776 (wed-sat 12 till 6pm) or ask Nicki for a booking form..

Some Useful Printmaking Terms
Drypoint - Process of scratching directly onto a plate, so as to create a printed line.
Collagraph - Strictly, a print made from collage, but it has become a general term for mixed media printing.
Collograph - Often a misspelling of collagraph, it is in fact a photographic process.
Carborundum - Grit normally used for grinding purposes. Comes in course, medium and fine grades. Useful for adding to paints or glue to create a dark tone, or for sprinkling onto glue for a velvety dark finish. It will hold more ink so that it can also be a brighter area of colour.
À la poupée - Method of inking a plate with different colours. Sometimes the colours blend.
Plate - General term for the metal or board on which a design is built.
Relief Printing - The process of printing from the top surface of a plate, e.g. with woodcut or linocut.
Intaglio - Basic method of printing where the ink is rubbed into the lines and depressions in the plate. After removing excess ink, the plate is printed on an intaglio printing press with the help of soft blankets pushing the ink into the dampened paper.
