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.
All supplies provided.
