Please contact Annabel for more information or go to www.artseeker.co.uk and book directly.

Collagraph is a method of printmaking using a cardboard plate on which you scratch, cut, stick, layer or draw. It is a simple way of printing which requires no particular drawing skills, exciting and creative results can be produced by cutting and layering papers and making marks.

Once the plate is made it is rolled with inks and printed in black and white or bright colours producing textured, colourful images.
