Printmaking: Intaglio & Collagraphy
Explore the art of intaglio and collagraphy in printmaking: artists intricately carve and use mixed materials for textured and creative prints. Intaglio involves incising ink-bearing areas below the plate surface to create detailed prints. Collagraphy is tactile and experimental, where materials are glued onto a substrate to create textured prints. Both intaglio and collagraphy allow for the creation of multiple prints from a single plate, enabling you, the artist, to produce editions of their work.
Polaroid Emulsion Lifts
And since we are feeling adventurous, why not explore the magic of Polaroid emulsion lift and transfer? This quirky technique lets you, the creator, peel off the photographic emulsion from instant prints and transfer them onto other surfaces. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a Polaroid newbie, this image transfer process promises a journey into the realm of unique and captivating art.
Mixed Media Collage
These techniques open doors to endless possibilities, allowing artists to create multiple prints and mix in other artistic styles like collage, sewing, and watercolor. Imagine adding threads for texture, layering collages for depth, or splashing watercolors for a pop of color. The result? A masterpiece that showcases the artist's flair and versatility.
