Workshops
Last updated July 2009
two photopolymer printmaking workshops - janet ayliffe
thursday 30th - friday 31st july
saturday 1st - sunday 2nd august
suitable for beginners as well as experienced printmakers
This process is one of the safer techniques of printmaking and is remarkable for the detail and definition that can be achieved. Tonal gradations are more easily created than in traditional etching, with a quality similar to lithography. A variety of drawing techniques are readily combined with the use of imagery from other sources.
Participants of the workshop will make photopolymer plates for relief & intaglio as well as colour prints using single and multiple plates. Janet will demonstrate using sunlight as the main source of Ultra Violet light for exposure of the plates.
For those wishing to do both workshops, a separate programme will be arranged. For more information about Janet Ayliffe visit www.janetayliffe.com.au
