Photographic Printmaking: Polymer Photogravure

Joanne Price

Sunday, November 04 - 9:00AM to 12:00PM
School of Art and Visual Studies Building Room 240

Discover the beauty of ink on paper by transforming your photographs into stunning photogravure prints. Photopolymer gravure printing evolved from the 19th century gravure process that involved metal plates, toxic chemicals and long exposures. Today we can make equally wonderful prints using non-toxic, light-sensitive Solarplates that develop in water instead of acid. This environmentally friendly process translates photographic detail into ink on paper with the same beauty found in the old copperplate gravure process. Participants will learn the polymer gravure process and leave with 1–3 hand printed gravure prints, their plate and digital film. No prior printmaking experience is required. Limited to 10 participants.

Participants will be asked to email an 8 x 10 inch black & white photo two weeks before the workshop - details sent after registration.
