Collagraphs
A collagraph takes its name from the word ‘collage’ as it is essentially a collage made on a rigid surface such as thick card which is then varnished, inked up and rolled through a print press against dampened, heavyweight printmaking paper. The edges and surfaces of the collage form the lines and textures of the print, which is transferred onto the paper on its way through the press.

Extra colour can be added to the printmaking process by way of an additional technique called ‘Chine-Collé’ which involves the lamination of extra papers to the print as it goes through the press. Amelia uses her own hand-drawn pattern designs in the Chine-Collé process.
Amelia’s collagraphs also feature in her gift range where they are reproduced on products such as greetings cards, postcards, chopping boards, cushions and tote bag. These can be found in Amelia’s Etsy store and Store Folk at Jarrold.
