Linocuts - Linocuts are created by cutting or gouging
out linoleum with the use of special carving tools to produce
an image or texture. Ink is then applied with a roller over the
image. The linoleum is placed in a press with dampened paper on
top, then it is run through the printing press; this is a relief
image.
Solar Etching - An image or drawing is created;
these images are then copied (Xeroxed) onto mylar. The mylar is
then placed on top of a plate that is coated with a polymer and
exposed under ultra violet light. After exposure the plate is
scrubbed under water to create etched indentations. The plate
is then again exposed to ultra violet light to harden its entire
surface. The plate is inked by applying the ink into the grooves
by hand rubbing using a tarlatan. The plate is placed on the printing
press, dampened paper on top and run through the press.
Collagraph - A collagraph is a print that is made
from a collage of various materials that are glued together on
cardboard, metal or a hardboard plate. Texture can also be created
by gouging or cutting into the board. It is then inked as either
an intaglio or relief then run through the printing press with
dampened paper on top.
