Collotype Printing Workshop in Taiwan

Thirkell, Paul

Abstract

Collotype is a rare printing technique that enables photos and all kinds of graphic imagery to be reproduced in ink on paper with almost the same degree of detail as a silver gelatine photo print. Dr Paul Thirkell was invited by the Taiwanese National University of the Arts to host a collotype workshop and lecture series for the universities printmaking students and invited guests from the Taiwanese printmaking community. These events took place in February 2009 and this invited article describes the techniques.
