I recently attended a workshop with Cas Holmes, another of my favorite artists (cas holmes). I had the chance to listen to a talk by her on the Friday evening and then go to the workshop on the Saturday. We were looking at creating and then printing with collograph blocks made from found materials.
We were on tables of four and started by drawing an object in front of us. We then had to pass this around the table and redraw our object. The sketch on the left is after all four of us have drawn our object. We then had to isolate part of the design.
This then formed the design for the block. Cardboard was used and scraps of fabric, scrim, paper etc were glued on. Paint was added and we used this to print from. Normally you would glue the bits down with stronger glue and you would seal the block with varnish before using it but we only had a few hours which left no drying time.

The block was printed several times onto two pieces of white fabric
Further embellishments were added. All that is needed now is some stitching.
