This workshop will guide participants through the process of making their own original Photopolymer Photogravure print. Workshop instruction will include: digital photograph editing/manipulation through photoshop; applying/ modifying correction curves; printing and curing photo-positive transparencies; testing exposure times, exposing and developing photopolymer plates; and printing/editioning photopolymer plates.

Photopolymer Photogravure is an exciting green-printmaking medium which allows artists to create original intaglio prints using digital photographs, photo collages, or hand drawn images. This workshop will focus primarily on photographic imagery but exposures from hand drawn films will be covered in the tutorial. Zygote Press uses Toyobo KM83 plates, which develop in room temperature water, no chemicals!

Participants should bring a digital copy of two photographic images sized to 6"x8" (300ppi is ideal). We request that participants have a rudimentary understanding of photoshop software in order to fully benefit from the workshop.
