Chine-colle is a technique, used in conjunction with printmaking processes, like linoleum carving. It results in a two-layered paper support: a tissue-thin paper, cut to the size of the printing plate, and a larger, thicker support paper below. Both the tissue and the support sheet are placed on top of the inked plate and run together through the printing press. The process creates a subtle, delicate backdrop to the printed image. Paloma will guide you in this step by step process to create colorful prints made with only one carved plate.
This is an image based linoleum carving workshop. Come prepared with ideas of what you’d like your print to look like and/or images that you plan to carve. If you have an idea involving text, keep in mind that this will need to be hand carved from the linoleum material.
Linoleum carving is a common method used by printers to create illustrations and other shape-based elements in their print projects.
Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by S-R staff and takeaway prints. Paper in this workshop is from French Paper Company, a small Michigan Paper Mill around for more than 140 years.
