At the end of December I did a one day one-to-one course in Photopolymer printing at East London Printmakers with Rebecca Holmes. I wanted to get my head around using photopolymer plates in my printmaking, something that I’d read a lot about but had difficulty getting my head around. Photopolymer is a commercial printing process where an exposed plate can be washed out in warm water, removing the need to etching acids. It offers huge potential for platemaking from a variety of sources. For my teaching day I took along a couple of images, one from a newspaper and one drawn by my Axidraw machine.
