I’m hoping participants in Dan Welden’s Solarplate workshop will bring their work to share with the group. For those that missed the workshop, his ‘Printmaking in the Sun‘ DVD will be available at a discounted price (at the meeting only). More information about the solarplate process can be found on his website: SOLARPLATE

Another website: Polymer Photogravure Intaglio Printmaking Tips has excellent information about polymer intaglio printmaking. It also notes that, “Some of the most famous and well documented photogravure prints in the world of art are now available in high-resolution digital images on The Metropolitian Museum of Art’s website free of charge. http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search?ft=photogravure&ao=on&noqs=true

*The photogravure process creates a type of intaglio print. Using this method, a cover plate gets coated with photosensitive gelatin tissue. This light-sensitive tissue is exposed to a film positive before being etched. This type of intaglio print can produce the continuous tones and detail associated with photographs.

All work is welcome, and this meeting Fred VanderWerven will be running the projector. If you have work to project, please bring your files on a thumb drive (memory stick).

May 11th Meeting Announcement

The next meeting for Photographers East will be held next Monday, May 11th, starting at 7PM at Dan Welden’s studio, 1649 Millstone Rd, in Noyac (but, not on Millstone). He’s on a flag lot on a dirt road called Litho Path…..just about 2/10 of a mile from Noyac Rd. There is a street sign for Litho Path. Go up Litho Path and count 4 driveways on the right….that’s Dan’s!

Join us for the meeting on Monday for an informative presentation on the light sensitized process called Solarplate. Invented and pioneered by Dan Welden, this ‘alternative’ method of plate making uses no hazardous chemicals, simply processed with sunlight and ordinary tap water.Dan-Weldon-Solarplate
