All your creativity will be actively engaged as you divide your time between our print studio and the computers in our Electronic Media Center. In this unique workshop, participants learn how to create prints using imagery created on the Macintosh as the basis for their photo-etchings. Images such as photographs, drawings, text or illustrations are scanned into the computer, then manipulated with Adobe Photoshop. Your digital image is then output onto film, which is exposed onto a sensitized etching plate using Kala's Photo-Polymer Plate Maker. The possibilities are truly limitless with this process, which creates mysteriously beautiful and complex prints. Enrollment is limited to 8 students.
