Experimental collagraph
Well I need to work out how to do a collagraph print in under two hours - as my courses are only two and a half hours including a demonstration. I bought some thin sticky aluminium foil and was hoping that, as I have read, it covers the plate enabling you to print immediately rather than waiting a couple of days for any varnish to dry. I was worried that there would be a loss of definition and texture and maybe there is a loss of texture, but I found the results to be promising. I prepared a plate of the Langdale Pikes in the Lake District and annoyingly, made the rookie mistake of not reversing the image when designing the plate - however with the wonders of Adobe, I can of course reverse it again to correct for my numptiness! Time to play now and improve the original plate design...
