2 day Collagraph Course - Plate making and Printing

Join experienced printmaker Sarah Godfrey for this exciting workshop exploring the collagraph printmaking technique.

A collagraph is essentially a collage of materials glued to a printing plate, to create a textured surface image, which then can be inked and printed on an etching press. Discover and gain an understanding of the process while having fun and learning from each other.

Session 1: Sat 27th September 10.30 am - 2.30 pm Making the Collagraph plate

Session 2 : Sun 28th September 10.30 am - 2.30 pm Printing your plate

Who is the course for?

This workshop is equally suited both for the beginner and the experienced printmaker wanting to explore the process further.

All materials and equipment will be provided.

You may like to bring ideas, photos or sketches to work from but this is not essential.

Please bring with you any textured paper, net curtain, lace, dried flowers, leaves etc that can be stuck down and inked to create texture and imagery. If you don't have these, don't worry we can provide some for you.

Please wear old clothes as printing can get messy. No sandals, heels or open toed shoes. Aprons will be provided.

You may want to bring a packed lunch. Teas, coffee, water and biscuits are provided.

Sarah has always had a very spontaneous and intuitive approach when making her artwork, enjoying using as many different methods of mark making within one image as she can.

Having trained as an Illustrator it is not surprising this has influenced her style of image making, she creates sophisticated, over the top images, purely imaginative and fantastical. Sarah has a strong and contagious passion for printmaking, having worked at many printmaking workshops, colleges, schools and organisations. She strongly believes ‘Art is for all’ , and is a very enthusiastic and encouraging tutor with people of all ages and abilities.
