Print-A-Collage: Collagraph Workshop

$150.00

Instructed by Melissa Dettloff

Saturday, June 20th, 12-6pm

Class Size: Maximum 8

Discover the magic of collagraph printmaking, a process that turns texture into image. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build a printing plate from layered materials like fabric, paper, string, and found textures, then ink and run it through an etching press to create unique and detailed prints. If you’re into collage, texture, assemblage, tactile materials, or play, you’ll enjoy collagraph printmaking.

This is a fun and experimental approach to printmaking that blurs the line between collage and print. Collagraphs create unexpected marks, strange and beautiful textures, and images that can be abstract and tactile. No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Feel free to bring your own texture materials (thinner materials work best).
