Toyobo Weekend
Weekend Course
On 3&4 of February OR the 20&21 April OR the 15&16 June, learn all about Toyobo (or photopolymer gravure) with RSA Leena Namari.
An innovative new printmaking process that uses remarkable water-washable photopolymer plates which are both fast and safe, Toyobo produces results similar to 19th century process of photogravure.
Although the course will be of interest to all artists, it is particularly suitable for those working with photographic and digital imaging who wish to produce high quality original prints. The course focuses on understanding the intricacies of the processes: exploring how to prepare images for the process and how to identify works best for each technique.
The course is very hands-on. During the course, each person will produce one A5 image. The process has a high digital imaging content, explaining how to manipulate the image before exposing it to the photopolymer. Experience of Photoshop is advisable to make the most of the course, comprehensive step by step notes will be provided. If possible, bring your laptop with you, and it is preferable if you have photoshop or photoshop express installed. If you do not have a laptop, please bring along photographic images either on a USB stick, CD, or as photographic prints to be scanned. There are limited communal computers at EP.
