During this four-day intensive photogravure workshop, we delve deep into the intricacies of this unique medium. Participants begin with a set of ten pre-made plates and immediately start experimenting with various gravure printmaking techniques on the first day. As the workshop progresses, attendees get the opportunity to create a second batch of plates, reacting to their already-printed images. This hands-on experience helps establish best practices for imaging low-contrast mediums like gravure.

The workshop covers a range of complex techniques, including multi-plate printing, Chiné-Colle, À la poupée, and various papers. Attendees gain a broader understanding of the medium and learn from a professional studio. As a print-focused workshop, the goal is to leave with a substantial number of prints. While it’s not a comprehensive guide to building a plate-printing studio, it provides a solid foundation in traditional printmaking techniques applied to our digital gravure plates created at Prints on Paper. Additionally, participants learn essential Photoshop skills for working with low-contrast mediums. The techniques and knowledge gained during the workshop empower participants to thrive in their art practice.
