Tetra Pak Intaglio and Collagraph with Emma Taylor

* THIS EVENT HAS NOW FINISHED *

Sunday 24th July 2022 | 10:00am - 2:00pm

Tetra Pak Intaglio and Collagraph with Emma Taylor

We will explore the many exciting possibilities of collagraph printmaking by building up textures and marks with a variety of collage materials on a mount card plate. You will learn how to construct interesting textured printing plates using metallic card, papers and precut pattern pieces as well as tapes and found textures before cutting areas away.

The collagraph plate will then be sealed and dried before being inked using intaglio etching inks and passed through an etching press with dampened paper. We will explore the wonders of black intaglio inking but can also add sensitive intuitive highlights of colour. This is a flexible and inexpensive technique that results in rich, textured prints. Each time the paper is lifted the results are never the same and is always very rewarding.

We will also be exploring Tetra Pak intaglio printing by working into food packaging to create layers with a drypoint tool. This will introduce you to the idea of producing detailed lines and textures in the soft surface before running them through the press.

This workshop is suitable for beginners or any artists interested in expanding their print- making skills.

Cost for the day plus entry to garden and materials is £60

      Wonderful garden well worth a visit. Great variety of plants showing so many ways of portraying a garden layout. Must comment on the great tea and cakes selection, our dog loved the doggy ice cream!

      Beautifully planted area, in which you are encouraged to walk along paths between the plants so can be completely surrounded by foliage - a lovely effect.
