Workshop: Gelatin Plate Printmaking / Collagraph Still Life Monoprints

Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Sun, June 29, 2025

Glue textured materials to a cardboard substrate to make a collagraph “printing plate” — sandpaper, masking tape, corrugated cardboard, wallpaper, Bic® pen embossing, modeling paste etc.

Six printmakers gathered for a two-day workshop to make collagraphs printed on gelatin plates. Day two began with a timed collage exercise. Each artist had two-minutes to glue one piece of paper to a 5 x 7 inch canvas board before a timer went off and the canvas board was handed off to the next person. The exercise encourages a spontaneous response to what is already glued.
