Solarplate etching is an incredibly fast and versatile new way of making non-toxic prints! A light-sensitive polymer plate is exposed using a small light unit or sunlight. Artists make prints by exposing the plate through a transparent film with hand-drawn or digital artwork, photographs, or xeroxed images. This is fairly technical, so it helps if...more » Solarplate Monoprints: Magic with Multiples with Jane Pagliarulo
