i‘ve made a few prints in art lessons, but i‘ve never been able to make more at home. so thank you for giving me an easy way to see whether i‘m still into it c:
So glad you enjoyed it and you found it helpful 😊 if you end up using the technique be sure to tag me on Instagram @indie_illo I’d love to see the art you create
This is a great guide, I've been wanting to experiment with printing for ages without splashing out on a load of different bits of kit etc, this is really smart and helpful thank you
Great video, really helpful, thank you! Also, well done for choosing decent music, so many of these sorts of videos have horrendous music but I enjoyed that :D
Use some acrylic or spray lacquer finish at the end, so the prints will be clearer and you can also make better intaglio print with it. Seals the paper and easier to clean.
Very interesting approach, gonna have to try this. Nice simple and effective design too! Have you heard of gel plate printing? Gelli plates? Similar result, one is on the way to me now!
Some interesting effects and compositions with DIY home printmaking. But this is really a more traditional form of relief printing, like stamping. Collagraphy is the actual application of collage elements onto a matrix/substrate/plate, which isn't what is happening here. Even in a more hybrid form, where the substrate is treated as the middle zone, and the artist carves back some forms and adds layers for others, there is still the collage element to the print. This is a valuable printmaking demonstration. I won't debate that. But even in art, the terminology is important.
Hi, I get what you’re saying but the root of the collagraph process is rooted in creating texture, whether that’s smooth or rough for these areas to take the ink. I agree that this isn’t “traditionally” how collagraph is defined, but it is a more graphic/illustrative approach and is still very much valid. I was actually taught collagraph by Charles Shearer, who is quite a well known print maker, and who famously uses this method of making collagraph plates. Also it’s important to note that carrying out the process in this way makes it a lot more accessible for more people. Printmaking is an ever changing & evolving practice so you can’t really pigeon hole processes to a singular method- it’s one of the few practices that still has so much scope for evolution and this should be embraced, which is exactly what I encourage with my students
@@indieillo I dabbled with collagraphy in what seems a lifetime ago when I was studying linocuts and drypoint etching. I stumbled upon Mary Ann Wenniger's book Collagraph Printmaking. Let us just say it was a fairly new book at the time. Technically, whether you are building the image up, cutting it away, incising it with a needle or corroding it way with an acid (or strong base depending on the plate material) to create the negative image, the goal is the same. Which is why, to me, the terminology is important. But each methodology has its strengths and weaknesses. You are indeed correct, printmaking, like any art, is not truly a purist endeavour. Many printmakers have combined approaches to achieve the desired effect. And I am not a printmaker by nature, I am more of a draughtsman and painter, and I too, combine media to get me where I want to go. I only dabble a bit into collagraphy (it's fun), and monotypes, and monoprints as a means to break up the monotony.
Hello! I really hope you see this... I want to get my amazing boss a Christmas present and I know he really likes you paper cutter... do you think you cold maybe link me to wear you bought it? thank you!
Hi there! I got it as a gift, so I’m not sure where it’s from. But after doing some googling Ryman do one that’s kind of similar - www.ryman.co.uk/2-in-1-rotary-paper-trimmer-and-guillotine-1?&istCompanyId=724692e0-2f99-4874-9565-6fc82074fe86&istFeedId=62fcf5e7-7380-40af-a2f8-d6441f27c300&istItemId=wtttxmiap&istBid=t&gclid=CjwKCAiAyfybBhBKEiwAgtB7fi2oVpfspgnYO4ThKlnlLRhPZRhoudeXupOb8ye_yoVCy-DPc_pdRhoChOsQAvD_BwE
.if these "results" are supposed to encourage me to try out this technique, am afraid they have failed miserably- am shocked to see you have had 27000 viewings!!
I don’t quite understand what your issue is with the prints produced using this technique. The purpose of this video is to simply encourage people to have fun with printmaking and not have to worry about having/using fancy materials and equipment. So it’s accessible for more people
There are written instructions as well as the visuals, if I’d kept the video to normal speed it would’ve been way too long. Plus it’s a very experimental process so it relies on people giving it a go themselves, there’s no guarantees with this process :)

That’s awesome, if you end up making something be sure to tag me on Instagram, I’d love to see your results 😊
Not only was this helpful, easy to follow and even showed me different ways to use the technique but you also listed everything in the description
So glad you enjoyed it and you found it helpful 😊 if you end up using the technique be sure to tag me on Instagram @indie_illo I’d love to see the art you create

i really miss doing printmaking at university.
this video inspired me a lot to do prints again
loved the colors / the method and the music
thank you
So glad you enjoyed the video 😊 I’d love to see some of your prints, if you end up using the technique be sure to tag me on Instagram @indie_illo
Awesome technique! I will definitely be trying it one day
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial 😊 be sure to tag me in your results on Instagram (@indie_illo) when you give it a go
I’m definitely trying this out. Thanks for the tutorial.
Waahh this is so cool! I love collagraph!
Just discovered your channel, I just have to say I love the videos! Awesome, very informative and clear. Thank you!!! You're awesome
Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad you like the videos ☺️
Great demonstration. Thanks.
Oh I love printing. Thank you for this video soo inspiring 😍
beautiful work, thank you
Great video, really helpful, thank you!
Also, well done for choosing decent music, so many of these sorts of videos have horrendous music but I enjoyed that :D
Thanks! And yeah I spent ages looking for music cause I hate the generic vlogging music that so many people use haha
Very useful and short!
This would be cool for things like zines - if you don’t know what zines are you should definitely check them out!

Great Job !
Thank you 😊
Nice video
Could U give some background information about what type of color U were using?
amazing tutorial!!
what kind of paint did u use?
Thanks! 😊 I used water based relief printing inks, but you could use other types of paint and see what kind of results you get 👍🏻

What sort of ink or paint did you use ?
Water based printmaking ink, you can use oil based if you want - it’s just harder to clean up
Thanks

Useless because of the high speed. It’s a tutorial. What’s wrong with normal speed ?
There are written instructions as well as the visuals, if I’d kept the video to normal speed it would’ve been way too long. Plus it’s a very experimental process so it relies on people giving it a go themselves, there’s no guarantees with this process :)
