Photo Polymer Printmaking is a highly expressive and versatile new art form in which the use of photo-imaging and intaglio techniques are combined to create prints resembling those made by using traditional print-making techniques (like etching, lithography, and photogravure).

Non-toxic materials are used. Plates are exposed to UV light sources and washed out with water, then printed on an etching press.

This class will be split into two distinct weekend workshops:

Week One:

Preparation of source material using digital and hand made negatives;

Week Two:

Plate preparation & exposure; processes for printing the plates and creating editions.

Part of the registration fee will be a $40.00 lab fee to cover material costs.

Monoprint Glazing wth Victoria Edgarr
October 23 & 24, 2010, 10 to 5 Saturday and Sunday
$220 to $240 (non-members)
Suitable and exciting for any level of experience.

Monoprint Glazing is a method of building up a print with thin 'clouds " of colour. The look of the technique ranges from photographic to abstract.

We will start with the classic 4 colour separation in a process similar to reduction.
We will combine this with other Monoprint techniques.
Participants can expect to leave with a 3 or 4 complete prints.
