Photo Etching
Learn about the history of Photogravure and transform your digital photographs into Polymer Gravure prints.
Transform your digital photographs into Polymer Gravure prints in this one-day Photo Etching course. You’ll use Photoshop to edit your photos before printing them onto acetate and transferring onto photo plates. You’ll learn how to develop these plates and use the etching press to create your own prints, exploring the digital to analogue process of Photogravure.
By the end of the course, you will have created at least one A5 Polymer Gravure print of your work.
You’ll need to bring 3 or 4 possible photographs on a memory stick. This course may get messy, so please wear old clothes. All materials, including aprons and gloves, will be provided.
