Modern printmaking uses light-sensitive polymers to replace traditional etching methods
In short: Printmaking student Ines Fernandez de Cordova demonstrates a contemporary technique using photo-sensitive polymers. This process creates a plate ready for acid etching, offering a modern alternative to traditional printmaking practices.
In this demonstration, Ines Fernandez de Cordova, a printmaking student, explores the use of photo-sensitive polymers in the creation of printing plates. By exposing these materials to light, artists can prepare a plate for the subsequent acid etching stage.
The project was developed in collaboration with the Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, and is presented in the context of the British Museum's exhibition, The American Dream: pop to the present, which received support from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
