About this Event
About the day workshop: During this workshop participants will expolre how to create plates using intaglio dypoint techniques- mark making using intaglio tools, scratching into the card plates.
Incorporating elements of collagraph which adds texture and depth, participants will learn how to print their plate using chine colle; where thin coloured paper is sandwiched between an inked up plate and the paper. The results can be stunning, a quick way of adding colour and texture, with the ink from the image on top.
