In this workshop, we’ll transfer a digital photograph, design or drawing onto a Toyobo plate and print from it. Toyobo plates are light-sensitive photopolymer plates that can be exposed with UV light using a photo-positive transparency to create an etched printing surface. This versatile technique allows you to reproduce photographic and drawn imagery with the rich tonal qualities and tactile character of classical etching.
