Solar plate printmaking is a diverse and flexible nontoxic intaglio medium. Each class will have a demonstration on how to make and print a solar plate. Some of the techniques we will cover include traditional-looking etching, photo etching, embossing, relief, and images that look like traditional hand drawn lithographs. Mark will also cover more advanced multiple plate techniques. In each class, we will discuss intentions and aesthetics and critique our work.
