Introduction to Photopolymer Printmaking

This workshop is full - please call to put your name on the waiting list

This workshop is an introduction to working with Toyobo Printight plates, a photopolymer plate that is sensitive to photo-based imagery as well as direct drawing. In fact, the process is so versatile that it can accommodate nearly any type of imagery or visual approach you’re interested in bringing to it. The plates can yield prints with rich, luscious blacks, delicate tones, or lines that sensitively translate the texture of the drawing tool. Through the use of colored inks, multi-plate printing, and chine colle, the plates can also yield beautiful color prints.

The workshop is open to beginners as well as experienced printmakers. It can also be taken as a re-fresher course for those familiar with the process.
