Teaching artist: Marc Schimsky

LEARN HOW TO MAKE ETCHINGS WITH JUST SUNLIGHT AND WATER! PRINTMAKING IS FUN AND NO PRIOR ART EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED!
Students will be taken through the process of creating an original image from their own drawing or photograph which will be transferred onto a solarplate and then printed on paper through an etching press. This process is a simple, safe, alternative approach to traditional etching. No dangerous acids are used. Students will be amazed at the results of this process. All students will be able to produce two 8" x 10" (or smaller) prints. A $40 material fee for solarplates is to be paid to the instructor at the first class.
