I love printing my images as bright, graphic silkscreen prints, and exploring other ways of turning my work into limited edition works of art. So I attended a photo-etching workshop at the WYPW where I am a member, and I make all my silkscreen prints for individual client commissions.<\/p>\n

The photo-etching process is very involved and lengthy, but, I love the results and feel it is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n

It involves printing your image onto an acetate, then exposing it to a metal plate, developing the plate, inking it, and then putting the plate and paper through a roller press.<\/p>\n

I also made some images using solar plates which I developed on a windowsill in the sun. There was a lot of cleaning of plates, inking and general messiness to get the really lovely feel that etching gives.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this snapshot of the process.\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a>\"photo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
