Collagraph Printing Collagraphs: Camberwell Girls' Grammar

Use fabric scraps, PVA and sand mixtures, string, wool and textured card to build up layers of texture on a collagraph plate. The glue needs time to totally dry (about 24 hours), before coating the board with Shellac. Seal plate with Shellac and print using water-based printing inks. The fine textures and golden hue of the plate creates an artform in itself.
PVA: These collagraph prints were made by tracing over a greylead drawing with PVA. Once PVA had dried paint was rolled over the plate and the print was taken.
