Yesterday I finished the Advanced Photopolymer Printmaking weekend course with Johnny Bugler at Cork Printmakers. It helped me clear my own perplexities about the process and we did an introduction into experimentation with acid etching, spit bite, etc. I am posting a few of my prints, and sadly I shot it with my phone camera […]

My Nohoval photograph taken by Minolta analog camera, on film, developed by my hand, then processed with my hand with ink and printing press to the final stage of photopolymer photogravure print. Hand made, one of kind. Soon to be for sale in one of Kinsale’s art stores.  

I need to choose two photographs for my follow up in photopolymer course and that is how I rediscovered one of my photographs from 2015, from Beara peninsula. That area is spectacular. And my new printing press had arrived from Polymetaal, NL. It’s a HS35. I can’t wait to start printing.

Printing new Gum Bichromate’s for one of Kinsale’s gallery.

While outside is typical February weather (rain, grey, cloudy, sometimes 4seasons in one day), I am continuing with the selection of already made photographic negatives for photopolymer printing.
