Description
Solar Plate printmaking uses a metal plate coated in a light sensitive polymer to create either a relief printing plate or an intaglio printing plate. On this two-day course you will learn how to create both types of plate using the exposure unit and outside in natural sunlight and how to develop the plates in water.
Using hand-drawn and photographic artwork as well as found objects and natural materials, you will be able to explore the delicate sensitivity and potential of this non-toxic technique to capture intricate details, alongside experimenting with blind embossing, masking and combining plates. By the end of the course you will have at least 10 prints to take home.
