Class description: Join Robynn in this Solarplate printmaking class that focuses on Intaglio. This is an exciting way to explore photographic, collaged, and /or hand-drawn imagery in printmaking. Each plate may be re-used to yield dozens of prints and may be printed in conjunction with other plates. This session will focus on intaglio or etched plates while serving as a solid introduction to Solarplate printmaking in general.

It is recommended students take both this class and the Solarplate Relief class for a well-rounded experience with Solarplates.
