Suzie MacKenzieTor Hildyard Diana CroftSage Dawson Printmaking: Collagraphs A Collagraph print is created using a collage printmaking technique. The collagraph plate is printed the same way as an etching plate, but the process also includes the basic principle of relief printing. A collagraph can be printed either as intaglio or relief. The term collagraph refer to a collage board where the materials are assembled on a flat base or plate (matrix) to form a relief block with different surface levels and textures. Collagraph plates are created by sticking and gluing materials like textured paper or fabric onto the plate and then coated with varnish or acrylic medium afterwards to protect the materials. 10/12-10/13: Homework: Please watch this TED TALK.
