Collograph: The Five-Plate Special

$375.00

Instructor: Karin Eberhardt

Date: Sunday 10/11 and Monday 10/12, 2026
Time: 10am - 4pm both days

Workshop Description:
From a simple (but oh so versatile!) mat board matrix, this 2-day workshop teaches collograph plate creation from the bottom up. On day one we make five progressively more complex plates, fabricating form and texture by cutting in, pasting on and exploding out, composing abstract and representational images. Day two is print day: we ink our plates a la poupee with a la carte colors, top them with a contrast roll flourish, and run it all through the press.

By the end of the two-day intensive, participants will have made five unique collograph plates, and with a bit of luck from the time and press goddesses, have pulled five prints to take home.

Instructor Bio:

Karin Eberhardt loves to cut, paste and color, but most of all to see texture and shape emerge at the far end of the press. In addition to collograph, Karin works in letterpress and book arts. She was mentored in printmaking at Waterfall Arts, a community art center in Belfast ME, through a Maine Crafts Association grant. A fan of Sarah Ross-Thompson, Karin is thrilled to share with you a workshop curriculum passed on by this skilled collographer.
