Solarplate Etching Three Day Workshop with Dan Welden

From Windsor Whip Works Art Center:

Three-Day Lecture/Workshop

Solarplate Etching

July 19, 20, 21

DanWelden

Master Printmaker, Painter, Teacher & Author

Early registration now beginning

Developed by master printmaker Dan Welden, Solarplate etching utilizes UV light and water instead of traditional grounds and acids. The Solarplate is the original light-sensitized polymer printing plate that yields diverse effects from a variety of images, including drawings and paintings on acetate, and digital prints and photographs on transparent film. Artists can also paint directly on the Solarplate and create a matrix capable of yielding many impressions. Participants will be able to produce several 8 x10 inch images during this enthusiastic workshop.

Printmaking experience is preferred but not essential. It's important: no latecomers! All enrollees are expected to attend the demonstration and lecture the evening before, starting at 7 pm, since it is part of the workshop.

Please sign up early as space is limited.
