Printing a Photopolymer Gravure

Photopolymer gravure workshop in October at Josephine Press!

Photopolymer Gravure is a relatively easy method of creating intaglio prints from both photographic and hand-drawn imagery. Photopolymer prints can rival copper plate photogravures, but are processed in a fraction of the time and materials, and require a fairly minimal learning curve.

In this workshop, you will learn how to make a photogravure using a photopolymer plate. You will learn how to make a film with an imbedded random dot or halftone screen, print the film, expose and develop the plate, and print a signed and numbered edition of 5 prints.

Schedule:

• Sunday, October 5th, 10-4pm
• Saturday, October 11th, 10-4pm
