FROM THE PRINT SHOP


Fooling around with Chine-Collé

Chine-collé is a special technique in printmaking in which the image is transferred to a surface (in this case the colored tissue paper) that is bonded to the heavier support in the printing process. Here the purpose is to provide a background color, the sky, behind the image that is different from the surrounding backing sheet.
It was fun choosing the different colors and seeing how they changed the feeling of the print.
