Spudnik Press

Photopolymer etching is a new way to make environmentally friendly photographic prints! Using a plastic plate coated in a light-sensitive polymer, this magical material can combine photographic images with the richness of traditional intaglio prints. It’s a modern version of photogravure! . Combining photopolymer plates with digital manipulation through Adobe Photoshop creates endless possibilities for this novel medium. This workshop will walk students through the entire process, from preparing digital images, using an aquatint screen to expose the plates, and finally to hand printing the plates. This workshop is open to all skill levels. All materials will be provided, including the plates, ink, and paper. Students are asked to bring a digital photograph (straight up photography or otherwise) that they would like to print. Plates provided will be 5”x7”. Students who have a laptop with Photoshop are encouraged to bring it along.
