Fine Printmaking, Photography and much more...

​

Printmaking with SOLARPLATE is a simple approach and safer alternative to traditional etching and relief printing. SOLARPLATE is a prepared, light-sensitive polymer surface on a steel backing to produce fine prints.  Dan Welden developed this process in the 1970s, which allowed printmakers like myself to find an exciting new adventure. All one needs is a graphic image created on a transparent film (acetate or glass), sun or UV light, and ordinary tap water, and the process is ready to begin. Each print is hand-pulled and are all original works of art. Below are some of the unique solar prints produced here at Eagle Street Studio.
