Please BRING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS
- pair of scissors
- craft / stanley knife
- some small/medium brushes for applying glues, tile adhesive. - not your best brushes though!
- AND feel free to bring any of your own textures as shown below in red to supplement Caths items.
- Also if anyone has images they want to use for inspiration - but bear in mind that it's difficult to get lots of detail with collograph, we'll make 2 or 3 plates each so some can be simple shapes to get the idea of building up textured layers and some can be based on an image - landscape, building etc
Week 1 - Cath will bring the following for us to use:
- Mountboard for the printing block- A5 & printing paper to fit.
- pva glue
- tile adhesive
- textured papers - off cuts from DIY shops textured wall papers are good - this is free and I can pick some up
- different tapes - masking tape, parcel tape, sticky back plastic/vinyl
- shellac varnish - I can bring.
- Aluminium tape - I can bring.
- found textures - threads, leaves, thin twigs, basically anything with a texture that's fairly thin will work. If it's too thick it's difficult to ink and may not work well through the press.
Week 2 Cath will bring -
- Inks
- presses
- printing paper
