Photogravure Solar Plate (May 12-23)

In this class, students will combine a variety of photographic process and polymer photogravure (solar plate) printmaking. Solar plates are a non-toxic alternative to a photogravure printmaking process developed in the mid-19th century that uses light sensitive material to create an etching that resembles a photographic image.  Solar plates produce editionable, rich, detailed photographic images.
