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.
