Monday 16 – Friday 20 January 2023
Basil Hall will introduce techniques for creating beautiful prints using collagraph plates. Collagraphs are usually printed from an inexpensive matrix made of cut, modelled and textured card, ply or masonite, rather than the metal plates traditionally used in etching. Collagraph prints are inked up and printed in a similar way to etching plates and look every bit as crisp and dynamic as their more famous counterparts.
The workshop will involve looking at ways in which the plates can be built up or carved into to create the lines, tones and textures you want in your finished print. Basil will demonstrate different intaglio and relief printing techniques and participants will be able to proof and print their images in full colour. This will include Basil’s chine collé pigment technique, a la poupée inking, viscosity over-rolls and multi-plate colour printing. Bring your imagination and a sense of adventure. Five fun days of cutting, gouging, peeling, varnishing, sanding, collaging, inking and rolling up await you. INTERMEDIATE
