​Weekend workshop

Multiple Plate Gravure

This workshop provides an exciting opportunity to create beautiful limited edition prints using positive and negative plates, and multiple color plates. Utilizing Photoshop and printmaking you can turn an ordinary color photograph into an “out of this world” image. Gravure was introduced in the 1800’s as a way to reproduce photographic prints and is still used today. Prior knowledge of etching, photography and/or Photoshop is very helpful but not necessary.

This class is open to all, but it is recommended that students take the “Introduction to Gravure” class first.
