You will prepare a background with colour papers cut or torn, creating a collage, then print your relief block onto the collage. More than one print from the same block is possible.
Chine Collé is a technique that allows you to add colour to your prints without making another block. Using Chine Collé you are able to print on much finer, more delicate papers which are bonded onto a more sturdy paper during the printing process. Japanese papers are often used but you can try tissue papers, maps, sheet music, even fabric – anything delicate enough to be printed onto.
No printmaking is necessary for this workshop.
Please bring along a simple design for reference.
This workshop is supporting artists and printmakers to create small scale work which can be submitted via CuratorSpace to MiniPrint Cymru | Wales, a Wales-Wide initiative to raise the profile of printmaking in Wales. You can find out more about MiniPrint Cymru | Wales @ SPW here.
