Solarplates with Barb Ackerman


Consider joining printmaker and multi-media artist Barbara Ackerman in exploring green printmaking techniques using Solarplate, a photo emulsion etching process. This amazing green printmaking technology allows you to use UV light to develop your image (yes, you can use the SUN), and tap water as a solvent to etch your plate! Participants will learn two printmaking techniques: • 1- transferring an artist image, illustration or photograph, from transparent film onto the plate • 2- creating an image directly on the plate. Workshop includes two 6” x 8” Solarplates. Additional plates may be ordered prior to class.

WHEN: 10am-4pm, September 19+20 (Saturday and Sunday)

WHERE: Two Rivers Printmaking Studio

TUITION: $350
