Description
An illustrated and highly practical guide to the technique of making collagraphs.
Collagraphs are prints that can be made in a number of ways: from collages, relief sculpture, caste plaster plates, carved, stripped and layered plates, plates painted with glues or even from a combination of all these methods. The flexibility of this process means that it is one of the most fluid approaches to printmaking which gives you greater creative freedom than other methods.
In this book, explore a wide range of techniques with practical hints about choosing materials and printing methods to achieve the best results. You can also learn all about the historical use of collage in printmaking, looking at the work of artists like Picasso, Georges Braque and Kurt Schwitters. With illustrations of the work of many different British and international collagraph artists, this book is the perfect practical and inspirational guide for printmakers of all levels.
