Create prints rich with texture and tone with the Carborundum technique.

Carborundum prints are rich with texture and tone. By applying varying densities and coarseness of grit to a plate, you can create gestural, painterly prints with soft, velvety gradients. From there, you will experiment with marbled effects and layering.
