Collagraphy is a really versatile printing process in which a textured plate is inked up and put through a press. Different textures hold varying amounts. of ink and print different tones. Anything with a low relief texture can be stuck down and used: wallpaper, leaves, fabrics, tapes and threads etc

Thank you for this demonstration.The human body is very symmetrical but our brain offers us multiple and simultaneous faculties that you use very well thank you, continue to excite my passion

[@CollagraphPrinting]

You are welcome 🤗

I know there's some element of experimentation involved but you select such interesting pieces. Love the idea to use everything ... somehow ... somewhere.

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Thank you. I think I was quite lucky this time. Some of these collage papers have been sitting in the box for years, glad I didn’t bin them… never throw anything away 😅

Thank you. Sometimes I get myself lost in a loop. But then i watch your videos and grab my starting point. So I keep your channel handy. I love your experiments. Thank you for the information you share. Best wishes 🙏

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Thank you so much and it’s so amazing hearing you say that. 🤗🤩🙌🙏

Another excellent demo, it demonstrates beautifully how important it is to keep going. When you started to add the second round of collage , man oh man it took flight. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Thank you so much and I am glad you enjoyed it 🤗

Thanks for this great demo, the speeded-up motion makes it fun and challenging. We can see how much thought is packed into each finished(?) piece. 😉

[@CollagraphPrinting]

I always worry I will bore everyone if I make it too slow… but maybe this one could be a bit slower 🤔

[@tinasart5720]

Great inspiring ideas as always, thanks Marta! Can you tell me where you get the masking paper or which brand it is? Greets from Berlin! Tina 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀🎨

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Thank you Tina 🤗
It’s Elka drawing paper

Hi, really enjoyed this and it was very useful to follow your process. I do use collage in my work. The problem is that the use never matches the supply and the collage colour coded mountain grows. Must try harder! Best R

Thank you. Sometimes with a bit of luck you can find that perfect piece…. 🤩
