Photopolymer Photogravure Demonstration with August Carpenter

Baldessin Studio hosts a live demonstration of printing from a photopolymer photogravure plate. This process, which merges photography with intaglio printmaking, produces rich tonal depth and fine detail. Visitors will see how an inked plate is carefully wiped, registered and printed using an etching press, revealing the unique qualities of this technique. The demonstration will highlight the subtleties of inking and wiping to achieve varied effects, offering insight into the craftsmanship involved. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and observe the final transformation from plate to print.
