Collagraph Printmaking Workshop

Learn how to use recycled tetra-pak cartons to create your own botanical-inspired collagraph, playing with colour, pattern, and print.

Collagraph Printmaking Workshop with Emma Bond, Botanical Illustrator and Printmaker

Join me for a hands-on workshop exploring the unique world of collagraph printmaking using recycled tetra-pak cartons. I will guide you through the process, sharing practical tips and techniques in a friendly and accessible way.

Taking inspiration from the beautiful flowers in the shop at Borrowed Light, participants will create their own single-stem collagraph print. The workshop will cover sketching designs, constructing printing plates, applying ink, and printing with a press.

Attendees will learn how to create textures and lines, mix and apply inks, and leave with a small edition of collagraph prints. After the course, a kit list will be provided to continue the collagraph journey at home. Happy printing!

All materials will be provided. We’ll stop halfway through for a break, and tea and biscuits will be available.

Please feel free to bring your own food, or there are a couple of lovely cafés just a few minutes away.

Please note: the workshop space is down a flight of stairs and there is no lift access.
