22-2227 Copperplate Photogravure

Through lectures, demonstrations, research and rigorous studio practice, students will explore Copperplate Photogravure and create a body of work using variations on the technique. Photogravure, as perfected by Karl Klic in 1879, is still the most versatile process for producing continuous tone, photographic intaglio prints. Students can build images based in photography, drawing and any combination thereof utilizing digital means to generate full tonal range film positives for plate exposure.
