Forging new partnerships

Collagraph Wax now available in the UK!

During Covid, like so many of us, I had to shift from in-person teaching to online workshops. What initially felt like a necessary adjustment became a pivotal turning point in an unexpected way—sparking growing interest in my collagraph wax and printmaking process among artists in the UK.

As more international orders began streaming in, so did a wave of messages asking about distribution closer to home. Shipping costs were a real barrier, and it became clear that there was a need—and an opportunity—to make the wax more accessible abroad.

I’m so pleased to share with my friends and customers in the UK and beyond that Wagner Collagraph Wax is now available in London through Intaglio Printmaker!

Last Spring, during my final days in London, with the city all to myself, I decided—somewhat spontaneously—to grab a can of my wax and go visit Intaglio Printmaker, a long-established printmaking supplier in the Borough neighborhood. I shared the wax with the owners and staff, and we began a conversation about the possibility of them carrying it.

Below are a few photos from that June afternoon visit—marking the beginning of what is a new chapter for Wagner Collagraph Wax in the UK.
