This solarplate from Dan Welden has been over washed but gave me an opportunity to try a technique of laying ink into the etched area and cleaning top, then rolling up a second colour on the surface.

Highbury Award


These relief prints have been pulled from the Hunters Proof Press. I made the solarplate from art work supplied by a Massey University Artist 5 years ago. After inking and printing onto A3, 300 gsm Incisioni paper I then set type and emboss the name of the Award Winner and the name of the degree that has been won. The next step is to hand colour each print with the colour of that particular degree. To finish off the presentation, I frame the print with a black mat and a black wooden frame.
