PHOTOPOLYMER ETCHING

November 11 – December 16 (skips November 25)

Photopolymer etching is the safest and quickest method for creating photographic imagery in etching. This is an easy and innovative way to create intaglio and photo etchings without the use of acid and other harmful chemicals. Hand-drawn, photo-based, or digital images are exposed onto light-sensitive polymer plates, which are developed in water and printed on an etching press.
•This course uses only Akua Waterbased non-toxic inks.
