A short explanation of the processes involved in making this original collagraph print. • Two plates (substrate mountboard and greyboard) • Materials on the base plate are PVA, scrim, aluminium tape, wood filler and plaster • Inking processes - intaglio for the bottom plate. • That means the ink is pushed into the nooks and crannies on the plate surface and the excess is wiped off. • The second plate is inked up by rolling ink out across the surface until it is well coated. • The background plate is paced on the press bed of the etching press with a damp sheet of Fabriano Rosapina on top. • It's then passed through the etching press to transfer the image to the paper. • I leave the paper trapped under the rollers to remove the first plate and position the second on the press bed

Gelatin printmaking is fast and gives you immediate feedback about composition and design skills. That is one reason that I love the process. Art school teaches us to make thumbnail drawings and plan our composition first. I just don’t have the patience for that approach. I like the trial and error approach of making lots […]
