Solarplate with Monoprint: Magic with Multiples! with Barbara Mason

Solarplate etching is an incredibly fast and versatile new way of making non-toxic prints! A light sensitized steel-backed polymer plate is exposed using a small light unit or sunlight. Artists make prints by working on the plate directly with printing inks, or an image can be created by exposing the plate through a transparent film with hand-drawn or digital artwork, photographs, or xeroxed images. Plates are printed by wiping with Akua Ink. Monotype layers on the Solarplate or separate plexiglass plate can be applied, lending complexity and depth to the work.  Contact barbara@ateliermeridian.com or jane@ateliermeridian.com for more details.
