The course will explore making plates using different types of materials such as wallpaper, feathers, leaves, and string, sticking them down onto a piece of card which is then varnished. When ready, the ‘plate’ is then inked up and printed onto paper, creating rich textures and an embossed Gillian Murray Gillian was born in Perth, Scotland and studied Fine Art (Printmaking) at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, graduating in 1993.

Join artist and printmaker Gillian Murray to develop with ample time your collagraph skills. This three day course will give plenty of opportunities to explore this technique and develop your work. The first day will show you how to make and print your plate, and the subsequent two days will give you time to develop the technique on new plates experimenting with chine collé, relief rolls, blind emboss and colours. A collagraph print is an impression taken from a collaged and textured plate. The plate in this case is mountboard on which your image is constructed using a variety of textured materials such as embossed wallpaper, cut out shapes, stickers, stamps, tissue, etc as well as gesso, glue, grit and cutting to make marks on the mountboard. Once finished and sealed with varnish, the plate is inked up and printed through an etching press. This creates rich textures and an embossed surface.
