Handprinted fabric can be made up into brilliant home furnishing accents, such as cushion covers, table runners and wall art, as well as personal accessories such as tote bags, scarves or purses.

Collagraph                  

Thursday 27th March 2025 10.00 am - 4.00 pm £85

Collagraph loosely means a print made from a collage. Experiment with a variety of materials to glue onto a printing plate, usually a piece of card or board which you seal before using it to print. Different materials can be used including paper, paper tape, wood, plastic tape and fabric. Layers of adhesives can also be used such as PVA glue, varnish, and gesso to create mark making. These collagraph plates are then inked up and printed onto paper using a small etching press.

We will then add colour to our plates and prints using Chine Collé. Chine Collé is a technique whereby we add glue to thin papers such as tissue paper or Japanese paper and this is sandwiched between the printing paper and the printed image. This added layer of colour becomes integral to the print.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to improve their skills, or just have a play with printmaking.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, although please do bring along any materials you would like to collage with.
