In this ten-week class for beginners, you will learn how to make your
very own polymer plates, and print your designs from them. Stacey
will take you from your computer image, to film, to plates, to the
press. You will learn how to operate the equipment, mix inks,
register plates, and print. In the early sessions, Stacey will
discuss the traditions of printing, and guide you to the modern
adaptations that are possible with photopolymer plates. There will be
time to work on either your own or a collaborative group project.
Basic computer skills are required - Adobe Illustrator a plus.
Class size is limited to 6 participants.
