Collagraphy is a versatile, textural form of printmaking where various materials are affixed to a substrate to create a plate. We will explore different methods of inking our plates, learn how to best utilize the press for this process, and delve into hand-printing methods. Our first meeting will largely be about creating our plates, our second meeting will revolve around printing. Please feel free to collect your own textures/materials and reference imagery prior to class (we will be working with 5”x7” plates and smaller). Note: We won’t be able to use the press to print anything with sharp edges or hard, high relief objects in this course. If you’re unsure of whether or not a material will work out, bring it in anyway and we will troubleshoot!
(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 June 15. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)
