printmaking

Unfortunately I haven't been able to upload the pictures of my dry point etches because I didn't get a chance to finish printing the plates this week. there is a lot of preparation that goes in to printmaking and it is quite time consuming but you can get some great results.

Collographs based on 'city surfaces'. I chose to focus on middle Eastern surfaces, mosque tiles and geometric patterns.


Trial and Error, I felt there was too much ink on this plate so took another print...






Experimenting with textures for collographing. I think the most successful is the paper cut outs on the top left hand side, also the most simple.
