What is a CLAYPRINT?
A clayprint is a kind of monotype print done with
clay. On a wooden board, one builds a damp clay base, which becomes
the flat printing surface. The artist adds layers of paint made
from kaolin (white clay), water and pure pigments, ground pastels
or colored chalks. As clay is an elastic medium, one can carve
into it to create impressions. The print is made on interface
cloth, which is pressed over the surface of the soft clay. When
the cloth is pulled up, the clay pigments adhere to it, creating
a one-of-a-kind, archival print.
