Photopolymer Etching Weekend with Bev Hayes
Over two days, you'll learn how to create your own photopolymer prints using pre-prepared solar plates and film positives.
Beginning with a short introduction to exposing test plates using a UV light unit, covers how to accurately measure exposure times. Working together to expose, develop, and cure your own A5 plates. Day two is focused on inking and printing using a traditional etching press. Experiment with proofing blacks and a selection of water soluble coloured inks.
This course is ideal for intermediate learners with some experience in printmaking and basic digital editing skills. All materials and equipment provided, including 2 x pre-cut film positives and two A5 plates. Pre-course communication with tutor Bev Hayes to help you prepare your digital images for film positives. By the end of the course, you'll have explored every step of this alternative printmaking process and produced a small edition of prints from your two small plates.
