The Collagraph Technique by Grace Bentley-Scheck

A textural and sculptural approach to printmaking, collagraphy involves constructing a matrix from found materials, offering unparalleled topographic depth and tonal variation.

The Collagraph Technique

by Grace Bentley-Scheck

Collagraphs are limited edition prints made from plates that are collages of paper, fabric or other materials.  When the surface of the plate is sealed with acrylic medium, it can be inked in the same way as a metal etching plate.  These plates, having more levels than metal plates, may be coated with additional ink colors as can wood or linoleum blocks.

My prints are nature based, often begun on site and then worked up in the studio. I try to combine the spontaneity of a quick drawing with the strength of a carefully conceived composition to create images rich in tone and texture.   Gerald Marcus gerald.r.marcus@gmail.com
