Introduction to Collagraph – The Art of Landscape

Collage takes the forefront in this eclectic printmaking technique. Where cardboard and packagings can become your plates and everyday items are transformed.

In this workshop we will be making collograph landscapes. Learn how to go from plate to print and to transfer sky and hills into blocks of texture. Guided by two Royal College of Art trained printmakers you will leave with a selection of frameable final prints. We welcome all skill levels.

Alongside the workshop you will be provided with a selection of complimentary snacks and beverages.

Studio Notes:

- Please arrive on time and wrapped up warm – our studio, whilst lovely, is an old Victorian building and though we will have heaters it still gets very cold in the wintertime.

- Make sure any clothes you are wearing you are happy to get messy in – we do have aprons, but printmaking is unpredictable at times.

- You do not need to bring any materials as they will all be provided to you.
