NEW! Intro Polymer plate etch/solar plate etch

Adult Course | Registration opens 5/6/2025 7:00 AM MDT

Solar plate printmaking is an exciting, diverse and flexible nontoxic intaglio medium. This workshop will have a demonstration on how to make and print a solar plate. Some of the techniques we will cover include traditional-looking etching, photo etching, embossing, relief, and images that look like traditional hand drawn lithographs. I will also show prints and plates and discus more advanced multiple plate techniques. This medium is great for artists that like to draw, collage or work with photography.
