This video shows inking, wiping and printing a multi-plate carborundum collagraph print. One plate is made with carborundum paste and the other is a drypoint plate.
The book provides step-by-step instructions to take you from buying materials through making and printing a collagraph plate, to signing your finished artwork. It includes one chapter on the drypoint on plexiglass technique as well as lots of pictures, tips and ideas to help you make the media your own.
Carborundum collagraphs made using “carborundum paste” offer the experienced and novice artist-printmaker easy access to printmaking. It is non-toxic to make the printing plate, using materials that are widely available and inexpensive. It involves less time and less materials than most other printmaking.
If you can dip a brush into paint and paint it on a board, you can create a printing plate using carborundum paste. Your prints can have vivid full-spectrum colors with a wide range of values and textures. Whether making monoprints, small or large editions, carborundum paste is amazingly versatile and sturdy. It is suited for either abstract or figurative imagery.
