Sheri Kowalski was a student in my Feltmaking class at the Sierra Club Retreat last weekend. You can see her in the group photo in my August 26 post, standing right behind me wearing her sunglasses on her head.

We chatted a short while about my printmaking (a few examples of which you can see on my LynnH ColorJoy Art Page). I do block printing using what’s called a “soft block” but sometimes can be as simple as a plastic eraser.

Sheri does a few different types of printmaking including monoprints and collagraphs. Collagraphs are her current favorite. I am not very familiar with collagraphs… I have seen examples of finished works, but only using black ink. I am somewhat informed about the process but I have never done it or witnessed it being done.

Sheri does collagraphs using color, sometimes more than one color. I’m really thrilled to see her work. Perhaps you would like to go visit her blog which shows off some of her pieces:
