Flights of Fancy: Collagraph Printmaking with Intaglio and Monotype at New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks
Referencing the beautiful, intricate hand-colored engravings of John James Audubon (currently on view at New Bedford Art Museum!), we will build our own avian-themed collagraph plates (based upon photographs, drawings/paintings or imaginary) using inexpensive PETG plates and common household recyclables. Collagraphs can incorporate numerous techniques, from embossment/de-bossment, to stencils, collage and drypoint engraving. We will experiment with intaglio and monotype printmaking techniques to create boundless variations of color, textures and tones. Saturday September 29 10 am-4 pm See newbedfordart.org to register

Building Up Meaning: Collagraph Workshop at Mosesian Center for the Arts
Collographs can be an exciting combination of relief printing, intaglio, embossment/de-bossment and monotype printmaking. Create plates with common household recyclable materials to print with non-toxic, water-soluble inks. Bring in recyclables to re-purpose and a selection of items that are texturally interesting (organic or man-made: plant forms, feathers, fabric, netting, paper, etc.) and dive right in to experiment with shape formation and color interaction. All other materials included.
