Today with FdA students with did a embossign workshop induction..Embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional image or design in paper and other materials.
It is typically accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure on the paper. This is achieved by using a metal die (female) usually made of copper or brass and a counter die (male) that fit together and squeeze the fibers of the substrate. This pressure and a combination of heat "irons" while raising the level of the image higher than the substrate to make it smooth. In printing this is accomplished on a letterpress. The most common machines are the Kluge Letterpress and the Heidelberg Letterpress. The term "impressing" enables one to distinguish an image lowered into the surface of a material, in distinction to an image raised out of the surface of a material.
we use linocut and cut out cardboard for the embossing and debossing process..
it's not a difficult process the only thing is that u have to be precise when you get ready your image, other wise some unexpected shape and texture will come out.
I'll definitely extend my workshop with some more practice and I'll thing something nice for the A-Z project
