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. Gillian Murray Gillian was born in Perth, Scotland and studied Fine Art (Printmaking) at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, graduating in 1993. After a move to Edinburgh, she was employed at Edinburgh Printmakers from 1996 until 2017 running the screenprinting department. This involved working on print projects with a host of local, national, and international artists as well as teaching courses in screenprinting and collagraphs. She now dedicates more time to creating her own artwork, as well as freelance teaching and editioning. In her own work she is fascinated by the landscape from the textures and colours to its form and composition. She is a professional member of the SSA and has exhibited widely in the UK and beyond.
