Program;

Acrylic Resists + Photopolymerfilm

This five-day course teaches "Non Toxic" hard ground, soft ground, aquatint, lift ground, washings and photopolymerfilm as well as possible combinations of the above.

The first 2 days will be a demonstration of the different techniques in the acrylic resist etching system as well as the different techniques of using photopolymer film.

During the following three days the participants will get the possibility to become familiarised with the different techniques and hence be able to make in-depth experiments with personal favourites working on their own.

4th and 5th Day

During the workshop we will also pay attention to the new "water-based" Akua-Intaglio inks. These inks are a relief for printmakers since these inks can be removed with soap and water. Click on Akua-Intaglio inks for user's instructions.

We begin in the morning at 9 o'clock and stop at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon. If the participants prefer an afternoon break is possible. Polymetaal will take care of coffee and tea.

If people are interested I can try to organize an arrangement with a hotel, in order to lower the costs. This means I need shortly approximately ten names of people who are interested to book in the same hotel (2, 3 or 4 persons in one room).
