Explore the versatile, contemporary printmaking process of solarplate printing. This non-toxic method of plate-making uses solar energy (UV light) and water to develop an image for an etching or photo-etching. No acid is used! Starting with a drawing or photograph, the results can be wonderful, varied and lead to creating a limited edition.
This 2-session workshop is fine for both beginners and experienced printmakers. The first evening session is a demo and learning the process; the second day, creating the plate and printing your image multiple times. You bring the creative spark and an apron or smock; and we provide the materials.
