About this Event
Introduction to Photopolymer Etching
You will use pre prepared solar plates and film positives to produce your own photopolymer prints. After a short introduction, you will get to learn hands on how to exposing a test plate, before making two plates of your own in A5 to ink and print on the beautiful traditional etching press.
This course is best suited for intermediate learners to explore and even try some experimental inking methods. All materials are provided, and correspondence with the tutor Bev Hayes will take place before the course start to prepare making the digital film in advance. By the end of the day you will cover all aspects of this alternative technique and create a small edition of prints.
Bev Hayes is an artist and printmaker from UK, and now based and working from a print studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. She has been working with the method of Photopolymer Gravure for over 5 years and regularly runs short courses in this method and exhibits her work at Art Fairs and Exhibitions in Galleries local and Internationally.
*IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION*
After booking, you must send a photo of the image/images you wish to use for the workshop to Bev by November 25th so she can pre-prepare your positives ahead of the workshop.
Images should be as high resolution as possible, and no bigger than A4.
