By invitation of the Printmakers Network, I gave a solar plate printmaking demonstration at the Riverside Art Museum last Thursday evening. Solar plates, a newer plate making process use sunlight (or other light source) and water, instead of noxious chemicals to transfer an image. Another earth-friendly update I shared with the visitors was the use of high-quality water-based etching inks to complete the not-toxic etching demonstration. Over 100 people attended the presentation including many interested high school and college students... who asked very thoughtful questions.
