Dates: December 14 & 15 Saturday & Sunday

Time: 10am-4pm

Cost: $400 includes materials cost (members receive 10% discount at checkout with code)

Instructor: Matthew Magruder

Matthew Magruder will show you how to use a non-toxic etching process that uses a photosensitive polymer plate that utilizes digitally based or digital files from drawn images to create etchings. In this workshop, Magruder teaches a new form of etching called "Direct To Plate" which eliminates the use of transparency or photo positive in creating the polymer photogravures. Some know the type of etching plate he uses as the trade name “Solarplate." Participants do not need any previous printmaking experience. The class’s emphasis is on creating the polymer plate that can be printed as an etching in creative ways.

What a perfect time of season to come in and get crafty! In this workshop, you could create a meaningful gift that is sure to please!
