2 Day Solar Plate Etching Workshop with Francesco Gerronazzo – Booked out and COMPLETED!

Solar plate etching is a method first developed in 1972. Photopolymer Printing Plates (usually steel) are used for either intaglio or relief printing. UV light or sunlight is used to expose the image and tap water to etch the plate, thus eliminating the need to use acids etc. in the classroom or studio. It is extremely safe, low toxic and sustainable. Beautiful tonal effects can be created by first exposing the plate to a dot matrix image. Master Printmaker Francesco Geronazzo from Margaret River Printmaking is presenting a two day workshop at Peel Printmaking in Pinjarra to share his knowledge of this method and techniques that enable you to then add colour to your images.
