Now that my intaglio class is finished, I am taking a collagraph class. I've only had one class session, and it seemed promising. Right now I'm at the let's-just-experiment-so-we-can-see-what-kinds-of-things-we-can-do stage.
But I went in to print the two plates I'd made the night of the class, and all I can say is that I HATE inking cardboard plates. I LOVE inking copper plates, but this is dreadful.
There are some interesting effects, but it all just seems too fragile to me.
You are on a roll here learning new things. I had to look up both intalio and collagrph because I've never heard of them. These are so interesting and it seems trees are the perfect subject for this process.
