Workshop Details

In this two-day workshop, explore silicograph - an experimental printmaking process using silicone to create raised-line plates. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll experiment with drawing, relief, and monotype techniques to produce expressive, tactile prints.

Participants will create their own silicone plates - abstract or representational - learning how to build, dry, cure and modify the plate. Demonstrations will cover a range of inking, wiping, and printing methods, both with and without a press.

You’ll also discover how silicograph can be combined with monotyping, selective colouring, and chine collé to add subtle colour and depth. Ideal for artists and printmakers looking to expand their practice through experimentation and material exploration.

About the Artist

Born in Italy, Colleen Corradi Brannigan completed her artistic studies in London, Tokyo and New York. A printmaker and visual artist, Colleen is known for her experimental approach to materials and process. Her practice centres on expanding traditional printmaking through unconventional media, most recently the development of a unique silicone-line technique that uses craft-based silicone liners to build raised matrix drawings. This process produces prints with distinctive soft-edged tones, expressive contour lines, and a tactile sculptural quality.

Her work investigates the intersections of drawing, relief, and atmospheric image making, often blurring the boundaries between print, mark, and imprint. She draws inspiration from material curiosity, repetition, and the physicality of the printed line.

Colleen teaches workshops and shares her process internationally, encouraging artists to approach printmaking through experimentation, play, and hands-on discovery.
