Solarplate printmaking 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 relief prints, while serving as a solid introduction to Solarplate printmaking in general.
