Collagraphy
Template:Short description Template:About
Collagraphy (sometimes spelled collography) is a printmaking process in which materials are glued or sealed to a rigid substrate (such as paperboard or wood) to create a plate.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Once inked, the plate becomes a tool for imprinting the design onto paper or another medium. The resulting print is termed a collagraph.
The term "collagraph" was coined by Glen Alps in the 1950s, and is derived from the Greek word koll or kolla, meaning glue, and graph, meaning the activity of drawing.<ref name="MacKenzie-2019">Template:Cite book</ref>
Artists use a variety of materials in collagraphy, including yarn, fabric, tape, different varieties of cut paper or card, leaves, feathers, and acrylic mediums.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="MacKenzie-2019" /> The application of ink onto the collagraph plate is versatile, consisting of intaglio-inking into recesses, brayer or paintbrush inking onto relief surfaces, or a combination of these methods. A print can be made with, or without use of a press.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
