What You Will Learn?
- Printmaking is a great way of making art without any pressure of perfection and Collagraph is particularly liberating! Collagraph is a combination of collage and printing, and you don't need to be in a print studio with pricey presses to practise it. Join me in this class to explore how to create your own characterful prints at home..
- If you are anything like me, you might have found the idea of collage daunting. So many textures and materials to choose from! But when I started to use collage in a more figurative way it became far more accessible to me. I hope this class helps you to explore printmaking and find out what kinds of collage bring you joy..
- From finding a reference image and using it as a template for your character, to building a plate and printing from it, at each stage I'll be there to cheer you on! .
- Please do post any questions you may have in the Discussions thread, or come find me on Instagram @gemmathepen or at gemmathepen.com - I'm happy to help however I can!.
