Buda Historic Home and Garden Presents
European printmaking and Australian gardens
DRAWINGS MADE INTO PRINTING PLATES USING THE SUN.
In this workshop you will take drawings from the Buda House garden or from the Australian bush or your garden and transform them into intaglio prints using water-washable photopolymer plates, exposed in sunlight.
Bring a range of your drawings or photographs from your garden to the workshop. Or there will be time to draw plants and garden views from the gorgeous Buda House gardens. You can use a graphite pencils or felt-tipped pigment pens or pen and ink to create a drawing on drafting film which we will expose onto a photopolymer plate in the sunlight. The plate is washed out in tap water, dried and hardened, and then printed onto dampened paper to produce beautiful intaglio prints.
