The Secret to Chine-collé in Collagraphs... (and some cool designs)

- In this video I demonstrate how you can create some really cool Chine-collés using objects and textures as well showing the ultimate successful way of using Chine-collé in your printmaking!
In traditional printmaking, chine-colé is a technique used to create prints with multiple colors. A piece of paper is printed with a black ink, and then another sheet of paper is glued on top. The two sheets are then cut apart, and the resulting print has multiple colors.
This same technique can be used in collagraphs. By printing a piece of paper with a ink, and then gluing another sheet of paper on top, you can create prints with multiple colors. This can be a great way to add interest and depth to your collagraphs.

Just to point out that PVA glue (or Elmers? not sure as I've never used it) will yellow with age. I've found it best to use Golden Matt gel medium or Fluid medium which won't yellow with age.
You are absolutely right. If you are making work for sale then it’s best using stuff that won’t yellow with age
Just love these instructive, hands-on videos from a serious artist with an clearly experienced point of view. So helpful!
Thank you so much I am really glad you enjoyed the videos 🤗
Lay your tissue paper to be glued on some kitchen baking parchment. You can leave it there to dry and it won’t stick. It’s also great for when you need to glue anything down under weights. I get through rolls of it!
That’s a fantastic little hack there Diane thank you! 🙏🤗
Well, chine-collé is a printmaking technique in which paper (of a different color or texture) is adhered to the overall piece.
To be called a Chine collé, the thin paper (Washi or Silkpaper), has actually to be bonded to the heavier support paper and only then it can be called a Chine collé. ; )
Thanks
beautiful work, and reminds me of everything I hate about printmaking, thinking in negatives, thinking in mirror, lack of colour exactitude, Registration (my very worst hate is reserved for registration), multiple chances for the whole print to f*** up, inability to predict no. you'll get for any edition. I could go on, my worst problem right now is a desire to have another go at printmaking..
Oh no, don’t get put off. Main thing is not to think you are working towards a masterpiece but rather an experiment. Then if you are not too precious about the results, messing up doesn’t matter so much. Making mistakes is the best way to learn 🤗
The tone of that deep red ink is delicious and it the addition of gold was a nice surprise. I learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching 🤗
I have learned sooo much from you Marta! I just took a weekend printmaking workshop and learned Chine Colle - now I’m addicted! Seeing how you make your own papers is so inspiring - I have around 500 large sheets of tissue left from a former business I had (couldn’t bear to toss them - knew that “someday” I would have a use for them, lol!) I will now get busy with making my own patterned Chine Colle!
Thank you, so glad to hear you are finding my videos useful. My studio is filled with chine collè and collage papers, I have a whole system of storing them 😎
@@CollagraphPrinting you have a whole system of storing papers? That would make a fantastic video. I've got collage papers all over the place. I try... but often end up not so organized.
@@apple369 thank you, I am always looking for video ideas 💡
Once again, thank you so very much for the excellent lesson. You make such beautiful pieces. But equally valuable is your brave and open attitude towards learning, and the inevitable stumbles that learning always comes with.
Your chine-colle papers are absolutely gorgeous! The botanicals are unique the textured wall paper works wonderfully well too. Great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching 🤗
Thank you for this. Fantastic ideas, definitely going to do this.
Thank you for your tips, they're very helpful. Your last preparations with the plants, frottage, are arts for themselves.
Thank you 🙏 I can’t wait to incorporate these plant chine colles in a new collagraph
Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing your chine colle techniques. Wonderful results! Looking forward to trying these 😊
Thank you and I hope you have fun with it 🤗
This is super cool and you’ve created some beautiful pieces! ❤️ Thankyou so much for sharing - it’s inspiring and I’m now going to check out your other videos 😎
You are very welcome Tricia, enjoy!
Wow just awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
You are welcome 🤗
Looks gorgeous
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for your videos. Love your ideas and work. Can’t wait to proceed myself.
You are welcome Eleanor! Enjoy getting stuck in 🤗
Thank you ! I’m really enjoying your videos. Very inspiring. I look forward to seeing your work
Thank you Donna 🤗
How fascinating thank you for sharing. 👍
Thank you and you are welcome 🤗
Fantastic video and information. Thank you
Thank you so much 😀
Very interesting video and I love your final piece!
Thank you Cindy 🤗
So nice! excellent!! Thanks you
Thank you and you are welcome 🤗
Thanks so much for the video. I have been wetting the Chine Collé paper, sprinkling Methylcellulose powder on it and then quickly printing with my damp paper. Transferring any fiddly bits from my sprinkling area to my plate has always been an issue. Looking forward to trying this method with some archival water-based glue!
This is soooo much easier, hope the new method works out for you, thank you for watching 🤗
And I’d love to see how you use the beautiful prints from the foliage 🙂
I really need to come up with something, they have to be used soon. Waiting for some inspiration…
Thank You, enjoyed it.
You are welcome 🤗
Love love love it!❤
Thank you 🤗
Use Yes Paste. It doesn't cause paper to crinkle. Dries perfectly flat and is repositionable for a bit before it sets up. I swear by it.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
You are very welcome 🤗
That’s some handy tips. I haven’t got access to a printing press yet, tho I’m thinking about making one to use here at home, and if I did, I could then do this kind of print. I do like making prints of plants and such with a rolling pin. Right now my prints are mostly monotype, gelitan print, that sort of thing. But I really like your videos and results with these.
Monotype and gelli prints are great fun and I really enjoy monotype printing too. Buying a press is an investment but there are a lot of printing workshops and for small fee they give free access to their presses, maybe there’s one local to you?
Lineco PVA - archival glue
Thank you 🙌
Awesome video Marta. Love your chine colle papers. I have seen this gluing technique before, the papers lay down beautifully (-: Marion
Thank you Marion 🤗
I've also seen a technique using wheat paste powder. Place your chine colle pieces on the press bed and use a sieve to 'dust' them with the wheat paste powder. Then run through the press with dampened paper.
Very interesting thank you. Where do you buy wheat paste powder?
I really enjoy your RUclips videos and have watched most of them several times. I'm sure it's time consuming to produce, but I am anxious to see some new ones. You have such great ideas. Also, I wonder if you could use some paper underneath your plates that are plain rather than the ones with color photographs and advertisements, which are distracting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Kathy
Hello Kathy, it makes me so happy that you enjoy my videos! I have just finished editing a new one and I am hoping to upload it today or tomorrow. I think you have a really good point about the newspaper with colours being distracting, I will bear that in mind from now on
Very inspiring can l ask is that wet strength tissue paper you are using please?
I bought this on Amazon and it works quite well
amzn.to/3UIWxIC
Hello. Thanks for sharing your journey. Could you say what printing press you are using and whether such a model still exists on the market? There are so many options for tabletop printing, linopress etc., I get a bit lost … Thanks…
You are welcome, thank you for watching. I use Polymetaal Press HS - 35
Have you considered using a Gelli plate for printing your tissue paper? Much easier
Yes, I have just started doing some gelli pulls on the tissue paper, it’s fantastic!
Lots of parts missing like how to get from those printed tissue sheets to the end
Not sure what you mean, are you wanting to know how to use chine Cole? I have lots of videos on my channel showing how to use them
Hi thank you again for putting up these fantastic clips. I have been trying to find one of the larger rollers do you know a supplier who would post overseas? I can’t find anyone local in New Zealand.
Thank you Carole, hawthornprintmaker.com/ do, they state on their website, might be worth contacting them?
What kind of paper do you use? I loved your ideas especially the plant chine collets.
Thank you Gabrielle. Wet strength tissue works really well I find
Blue painter's tape is easier to remove than masking tape
Really, I’ve never heard of it. Is it on Amazon?
Any interior paint store should sell this tape. It is blue and called painter’s tape. Pulls off real easy so you can see why commercial interior painters would use it to tape odd areas. Good luck.
Hi Marta, I’ve just spend several hours making my own coloured tissue paper. I was wondering how to get patterns on to the tissue paper, so thank you very much for the video. Even better that the wallpaper is reusable! I’ve been using wet strength tissue paper, is yours the same? Best wishes, Kay.
Oh great! Any tissue paper will do as long as it can withstand wet glue. The sort of tissue paper you get in packaging
Would a marble rolling pin do for a heavy hard roller? I'm on a limited budget but having great fun with Chine collé as a beginner. Also, do I wet paper (and if so, how) for lino printing Chine collé? Many thanks for these great ideas.
Hi there! Yes you could use a marble rolling pin, but it will not be possible to produce the same amount of pressure as an etching press so printed results will be different to traditional intaglio and collagraph techniques. I know a lot of people use sizzix die cutting machines which are a lot cheaper and have great results. With lino, I would use rice paste to glue chine collè on so you don’t have to wet the paper. Happy printing 🤗
@@CollagraphPrinting Thank you for the tip re sizzix die cutters and yes, I do use Nori paste so that clarifies the wet/dry quandry. Many thanks.
Can l ask what size spindle roller you are using for the tissue chin colle please?
Hi Lesley! If you look in the video description I list all materials and tools with links to all the details about them. Hope this helps
@@CollagraphPrinting oh sorry l shall take a look many thanks ☺️
what is that beautiful red ink you are using,?
Hello Andrea, the red ink is Madder lake, by Intaglio Printmaker
What kind of glue are you using?
Best is a water soluble craft glue like PV
Are you using wet strength tissue?
Yes, any thin paper will do though
