Photopolymer Printmaking Workshop

Discover a different way to create detailed relief prints in this photopolymer printing class in Edinburgh. Instead of carving your design by hand, you'll use light to create a detailed resin plate before inking and hand-printing your finished design.Photopolymer printing allows you to capture thin lines, texture, handwriting, stippling, and the natural wobble of your own pen, creating a tactile relief print that feels unmistakably handmade.No previous printing experience is needed, making this a great introduction to the technique. If you've printed before, you'll get the chance to explore a process that offers a different way of achieving intricate detail without carving.What to expect:

• Enjoy a short introduction to relief printing.
• Draw your own design, with help if you like.
• Expose your design onto a light-sensitive resin plate under UV.
• Wash and develop your plate to reveal the raised image.
• Learn how to ink, register, and hand-print your edition.
• Enjoy tea while everyone's prints are laid out together.

By the end of the session, you'll have created your own detailed, professional-looking relief prints and discovered a fascinating process that combines modern photopolymer techniques with the traditional art of hand printing.
