Introduction to Photopolymer Platemaking
Output from SF Center for the Book (@sfcb) Introduction to Photopolymer Platemaking class: photopolymer plate and letterpress print of plate.
Introduction to Letterpress: Business Cards
So I took Introduction to Letterpress: Business Cards at the San Francisco Center for the Book, sfcb.org, and this is my net — not so great, I blame my own indecision for the meager yield. But I now have a better idea of what works, and what doesn't, to apply during next weeks Introduction to Letterpress: Note Thank You Cards. Most excited to take Printing Business Cards from Photopolymer Plates at the end of the month and qualify to rent time on the Center’s platemaker. Here I come complete, reasonably priced, and fun to develop business system!
Image Transfer Workshop
Output from last night’s super fun San Francisco Center for the Book (SFCB) Image Transfer workshop with Courtney Cerruti: packing tape, gel medium, blender pen, acetone, and acrylic paint transfers shown.
