Saturday was the second class in my 2 weekend workshop. And now I have goodies to share. The class was on printing from photopolymer plates. It was amazing to see a photo go to a computer image to a photopolymer plate...
to an actual print...
This particular print was done on rag paper. The texture is so soft and luxurious and it allows the ink to bite (just a tiny bit) into the paper.
We also made plates using a a red scratch film which we "traced" an image on to. This is my work (the pitcher on the right) along with the work of 2 of my other classmates.
Since we made quite a few prints I've decided to sell a few of mine at Lily Jane Stationery. I can't wait to learn more letterpress, but I'm afraid the only classes available in my area are offered during fall and summer and I just missed the fall registration deadline. So the question is which class should I take in the meantime? Screenprinting, calligraphy or drawing?
