Getting to know your plate

Filed under: General Discussion — Joshua @ 12:12 pm

Printmaking is like marriage. It takes time to get to know your partner.

I spent the day printing yesterday. By the end of the day I had gotten to know my plate pretty well and how that plate wanted to be printed.

Not all printmakers print the same plate the same way. By the time I knew enough about how the plate wanted to be printed, it was time to come in for supper.

O well. That’s life.

Be well.
