Collography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the printmaking process called collography. For information about calligraphy, see calligraphy.
Collography is a printmaking process in which materials are applied to a rigid substrate (such as cardboard or wood), ink is applied to the resulting collage, and the board is printed onto paper or another material. The resultant print is termed a collograph. The term "collography" is derived from the Greek word collo, meaning glue, and the English word graph meaning the activity of drawing. Collography is a very open printmaking method. Ink may be applied to the upper surfaces of the plate with a brayer for a relief print, or ink may be applied to the entire board and then removed from the upper surfaces but remaining in the spaces between objects, resulting in an intaglio print. A combination of both intaglio and relief methods may also be employed. A printing press may or may not be used.
