I had some collagraph plates on display during Sat

I had some collagraph plates on display during Saturday’s open studio to help explain the process of how I made my fish and bothy series. It was lovely so many people were interested. So here I am inking up various plates.

I put the ink on then, using a material called scrim, you can see I’m using semi circular movements to help the ink into all the grooves and textures on the plates.

Next, I take clean newsprint and polish the plate. Here I’m trying to take away as much ink as I want from the top surface of the plate so when it comes to printing these areas will print as mid tones. The ink in the grooves and textures is left behind and after going through the press, will print darker.

I make sure to clean the bottoms of the plates and pay particular attention to the edges. If I left these, the inky edges can ooze out ink which isn’t the look I’m going for.

As I’m using Akua soy based inks, I can ink the plates up today and wait until tomorrow to print as the ink won’t dry on the plates.

Let me know if you have any questions.

It’s been a while since I made a concertina sketchbook. Here I’m using mono prints of plants from the garden and trying out various vessel shapes. #monoprint #sketchbook #concertinasketchbook #printmaking #rachelbrownstudio #edinburghartist #makingprints
