The process uses Solar Plate material available from many print making supply outlets. I find it best for its tonal range. The Solar plate is exposed to a positive transparency and developed in water (a non-toxic process, in other words) and is hardened before inking up, wiping off, and running through an etching press. We will work with that basic material but will also deal with making the transparency, using more than one plate (to achieve more than one color) and also hand coloring.

We are extending our $100.00 product certificate offer for the Karl Koenig photogravure workshop. Sign up by June 12 and recieve a $100.00 product certificate for Formulary product. Some restrictions apply on this offer.
This should be a great workshop with a very qualified and respected instructor. This is a good opportunity to learn another alternative process that is absolutely stunning. It is a really good process for those that sell their work as you just can't find Photogravure at every gallery ya know.
So sign up today, learn a new process, come to Montana and check out the Formulary. Did I mention the good food we serve also?
