Non-Toxic Photo Etching (Solar Plate Etching)

Come discover the fun and ease of solar plate etching! Solar plate etching is quick, simple, and a non-toxic alternative to the traditional photo etching process, using the sun or our new exposure unit and water instead of acid to etch the plates.  We will learn to expose, develop and print solar plates using photo positives or drawings on transparencies. There will be a strong emphasis on experimentation. Please bring color or black and white photos to scan. We will create two 5" x 7" photo plates.  Previous etching experience required.
