Solarplate is a nontoxic printmaking plate that is etched with water, cured with UV light, then inked and printed like a traditional etching plate. It’s a great way to learn printmaking! Concept: Why is the anachronistic medium of woodcut still relevant? Perhaps it’s the energy, the honest handwork, the raw physicality and the interaction with a once-living material. The oldest form of printing has a readily understood mark and a direct process that continues to intrigue makers and impact viewers. Art, craft, concept, history and innovation come together in this exciting woodcut printmaking course. Pursue questions of intent as you discover printmaking is far more than a reproductive art. Concept:  The ultimate handheld multimedia device is the book form when challenged and developed by artists. We consider content and form in a number of interesting book structures. We explore the book as an edition and as a unique object, translating made images and found sources into efficient and meaningful sequences. Our driving goal is successful, functional book
