Textural Collagraph Explorations — July 12

This workshop invites you to explore the wildly versatile world of collagraph printmaking, where texture takes center stage and no two prints are ever the same. A collagraph is a print made from a collage of textured materials glued onto a plate. In this workshop, artists will build their own textured printing plates using everyday materials and unexpected surfaces to create prints for collage, mixed media, or to stand alone. Participants will walk away with a series of original unique textured prints, at least one completed collagraph plate and a foundational understanding of collagraph construction, inking, and printing techniques they can reuse at home.

A materials fee has been included in the cost of tuition and all materials will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring an apron or smock as well as gloves if preferred.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled make up date for this course will be Saturday, July 19. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
