Printmaking Tutorial - Chine Collé Style Print Backing

Today I am bringing you a full tutorial on what I like to refer to as post-print chine collé. Instead of doing chine collé during the printing process, as the name normally refers to, I am splitting it into two steps; printing first onto the thin paper (in my case gampi) and starch paste gluing onto a backing paper later. This is a technique I learnt in Japan for wood engraving and it has come in very handy as I moved into hand-printed lithography.
Thanks as always for watching, liking and commenting. Let me know if you would like more detailed tutorials like this in the future!

Very good video, thank you. Have seen Henry doing the process, always a struggle for me. Have been watching and I am inspired by your work. You have a strong personal style. Going through the growing pains of finding a kitchen lithography process that works reliably for me - almost there for small prints. Fellow Canadian here where some fine art supplies are hard to find or come by, if I may ask, where do you source gampi paper? Shopping at Above Ground (TO) sometimes helps, but not all the times :)

Thanks!
For gampi paper, I would recommend The Japanese Paper Place in Toronto or Au Papier Japonais in Montreal. You can also order online from Ozu washi in Tokyo, but shipping and taxes will of course be quite expensive.
And as a shameless self-promotion, I teach kitchen lithography workshops over Zoom, should you ever be interested:

Quel est ce produit chinois ?

[@valeriesyposz]

C’est un produit Japonais, ça s'appelle Yamato Nori. C’est une colle à base d'amidon de tapioca.
