Collagraph Masterclass with Gillian Murray

Draw on Gillian Murray's vast experience of working in collagraph during this weekend course.

A collagraph is a print taken from a collaged plate. This weekend course allows ample time and opportunity to explore this deceptively simple and versatile technique.

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 effect.

A 15% Early Bird Discount is available for bookings made 1 month prior to the start date!

Completion of this course also entitles you to a FREE 3-month Associate Membership to use the studio and consolidate your skills.
