Printmaking with
the sun will introduce and advance participants in using solar or photopolymer
plate printing. Both emboss and double exposure intaglio processes will be
explored. Solar plate printing is relatively low toxicity and the techniques
learnt on this course can be continued in the home environment.
.
This one day
intensive workshop is suitable for beginners to advanced printmakers and may
also appeal to artists working in other media who are interested in extending
their current art practice through the graphic surprise of printmaking. While the process of printmaking allows the
production of multiples or a series, people attending this workshop will be
focusing on process, exploring possibilities and producing a range of results.
There will be oil based and AKUA (soy based) inks available for you to try.
While
the essentials will be provided it is recommended that along with your
enthusiasm you bring:
MOST IMPORTANT: bring some images, drawings,
photos, text etc already printed out on transparent film or mylar. This can be done on the computer or a
photocopier. Have different ‘things’ copied ready so you can select what to
expose onto the solar plate on the day.
Amongst the variety have something that is a tonal image (like a photograph) and something that is graphic (like text). The graphic image below is also shown in
inverse – if you want to create a stamp like plate print out both the positive
and inverse – it gives you more options. (This only works for graphic images,
don’t bother inverting your tonal images) The size of our plates is small A7 105 x 74 mm so think about working within that
proportion. You could scale your imagery
to slightly smaller than this size to allow a clean plate edge or you could
work edge to edge like I do!
- a ‘failed’ plate – this may be a solar plate or a
metal or cardboard one, or if you have nothing just bring along a piece of
flat cardboard. Any size.
- any papers you would like to experiment printing
on – such as flax paper
- a couple of bits of solid cardboard (about A4 size
to take your prints away in)
- visual diary for jotting down notes. Optional - a
camera is a handy way to record too.
- gloves (I like using the doctor and nurses ones
from the supermarket)
- apron
- pencil case/scissors, any of your favourite
printmaking tools etc
- extra solar plate if you have some that you want
to work with
