workshop description:

Would you like to explore printmaking using the latest 
development--photopolymer plates? If so, this workshop is designed for you. 

You will have the opportunity to work in the printshop at the University of 
Massachusetts, where all equipment and materials will be provided (plates, 
etching press, ink, paper). You may opt to do drawings on mylar. And/or, you may 
choose to work with photographs altered and manipulated with Adobe Photoshop, 
and printed on transparent film. In either case, your art will be transferred 
as mirror images to delicate photosensitive polymer plates by exposing it to UV 
light. The art is photoetched onto the plate, you ink the plate, and run it 
through the press. Images will be printed with permanent inks on archival 
papers.

No previous printmaking or computer experience required.

If you have questions about the content of the workshop please contact 
Amaryllis at 413-253-7124, ama_s at hotmail.com.
