Solar Plate WeekendSaturday 23rd & Sunday 24th August 2025
10am – 4pm both days
Standard Tickets: £220 per person
Tutor: Susie Turner
Venue: Essex Print Studio
This two-day workshop will introduce participants to an innovative and versatile method of fine art printmaking using sunlight and water.
Solarplate describes the process of printmaking from light sensitive plates that have been exposed to daylight or an artificial source of UV light. The plates are developed in tap water and can be used for relief and intaglio printing. The main advantage is the plate is capable of holding much detail and offers versatility in image making – participants will be able to transfer found material, hand drawn originals and photographs into unique fine art prints.
Some preparation of artwork would be useful in advance though not essential. If you would like to work from your own imagery, guidance on how to prepare artwork in advance will be provided. Participants will be working with A5 and A6 size plates.
Participants will need to need to bring along an apron, a pair of household waterproof gloves, any prepared artwork, pressed materials and a portfolio for carrying damp prints home.
All materials will be provided but we suggest that you bring along a packed lunch.
Suitable for beginners.
