On Friday, May 18th the entire shop will be dedicated to printing collagraphs! Bring your prepared matrices ready to print or materials to build your collagraph plate.
This is a working session for printmakers with some experience in printing collagraphs. You will need to be able to work independently. Stefanie Dykes will be at the press to problem solve any printing issues that may arise. The press will have all the support materials for printing the collagraphs on the presses. Collagraph print size is limited to 30”x22” paper size.
Date: May 18th, 2018
RSVP to Stefanie Dykes at sjdykes @aol.com to reserve your spot. We are limited this to six printmakers.
Time: 11am to 5 pm You can drop in anytime to start working, but plan on arriving no later than 2:00 pm to start printing.
Members: Free + materials.
Non-Members: $35.00 Daily rate + materials.
Saltgrass will supply the ink. Everyone will be responsible for any paper purchases and their matrices.
Bring with you: all the plates you want to print; your working gloves & apron, and personal tools or materials you might need. Saltgrass will have glue, grit, sealants, etc.
During our last collagraph session, we covered adding screen printed elements to the collagraph matrices. If you want to do that, bring with you a photo positive.
Contact me and let me know you want to work with screen printing. I get the screens prepared for you to use.
Let the print shenanigans begin
