Workshop Information:
Collagraphs | Edith Krause
Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which textured materials are glued to a rigid plate made from heavy cardboard or hardboard to create a kind of collage. The plate is sealed and then inked using the etching method of inking: the entire plate is covered with ink and then the ink is removed by wiping. It’s impossible to wipe all the ink off because it catches in all the cracks and crevices created by the textures, and these create the image when the plate is then printed, with a press, on to wet rag paper. Multiple plates and relief ink rolling can be added to create multi-coloured images. This workshop will be an all-day workshop – the morning will be used to create the plates and the afternoon will be devoted to printing.
Supplies to Bring:
All materials will be supplied for a fee of $20; participants are encouraged to bring along any textured fabrics or papers they might like to use for their collages.

Previously, she studied and worked in the fields of marine biology and aquatic ecology at the University of British Columbia and earned a Masters of Science degree in zoology. Her interest in biology has been a major influence on the subject matter of her artwork and her current art practice consists of an inter-disciplinary exploration of ecosystems, employing scientific methodology to collect images and data, and art to express her findings.
