Start September with us learning the technique of Solar plate printmaking. This environmentally friendly print process exposes light-sensitive plates to daylight or an artificial source of UV light to create delicate images using photographs, text, and delicate found objects.

Our thanks to the generous funders The Company of Arts Scholars Charitable Trust, without whom this opportunity would not be possible.
