Solarplate and Chine Colle

Solarplate printmaking is a non-toxic approach for making and printing intaglio and relief plates. Students will explore both photo-based images and non-photo based images, such as drawings, to produce plates using an exposure unit or direct sunlight. Jeff will teach students multi-plate printing and chine-colle processes to further develop prints using Akua water-based intaglio inks. While a variety of technical information will be presented, the focus will be on developing imagery.
