Solarplate Etching – No Acid Intaglio
The Solarplate Etching technique continues to be one of our most popular classes! Since only Light and Water are needed to etch these plates, an intaglio plate is created in very short order. The intaglio method of inking and wiping a plate is taught at this course. Starting with a drawing or photo, the results can be wonderful, varied and leads to a limited edition.
This workshop leads to success for both beginners and experienced printmakers!
