Collagraph Printmaking

Mt Perry Fine Arts- Printmaking workshops RADF Funding Supported

The Mt Perry Fine Arts Group are holding 3 workshops in Collagraph Printmaking and invite any interested community members to join us for a great event.

Collagraph prints are made by relief printing from a "plate" made by placing textured materials on a surface. Materials to make a plate can include cardboard, paper, plastic bags, paper doilies, eggshells, etc., which are placed on a surface and then coated with a sealant. Ink is then applied and it is run through a printmaking press on paper.

This will be a fun series of workshops with local and very experienced printmaking tutor Catherine McCue. The workshops will include learning what is a collagraph print, how to make the plates, and then participants learn to use a printmaking press at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery to reveal your creation.

The workshops will be as follows:

Saturday 26 March – Platemaking in Mt Perry. Cost $30.00
Saturday 9 April – Printmaking at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery.

Saturday 14 May –
