All these images are made using an intaglio printmaking technique called collagraph. Derived from the word ‘to glue’, collagraph at its very
basic level is about inking up a collage as an intaglio and relief plate and
printing it with an etching press.
There are many ways
to make this printing matrix, from sticking and layering different textured
papers to a base plate made of mount board using fabrics and acrylic mediums to
create different ink holding surfaces. Once the plate is made the surface needs
to be sealed with shellac or varnish.
Once created the plate is then inked like an etching by
pushing ink into all the textures and polishing the ink off white and light
areas. Using damp etching paper the plate is passed through an etching press to
pull a print.
There are as many ways to ink a plate as there are to make
one. From straight forward intaglio
inking to, blended rubs, viscosity inking, coloured rolls and multi plate
colour separation.

Great collection! These are really fabulous--so interesting to look at. I've played around with collagraphs, but never got very far.
Hi
Saw your exhibition at the Bluecoat this week. It was fabulous and very inspiring. Can you come and do a workshop in Liverpool some time ?
Cheers Fran0
I love the fine details of feathers etc .what do use to create these.
