Handcrafted Prints
Ziggy
(copper plate etching on archival paper, 8" x 6")
Hi,
My handcrafted prints are created on archival materials that are made to stand the test of time.
Each print is unique.. Included in the collection are monoprints, watercolor monoprints, drypoint, and copperplate etchings. Each is also a one-of-a-kind limited edition.
The uniqueness of each piece stems from the handcrafted nature of the printing process.
This process begins by creating a plate. The image can be etched into copper, linoleum, lexan, or another similar surface. Then, dependent on the process selected, the plate is hand-painted.
Next, the substrate ( paper) is soaked, towel damped, placed onto the painted plate on the press bed under a layer of blankets, and rolled through the printing press at high pressure. In this way, the paint on the plate is transferred to the archival substrate and one unique print is created.
To make another, the plate must be cleaned and the entire process repeated. Since each print is individually hand painted and processed, each print is different than the next.
As a final step, I hand-sign and number each print to certify its provenance and uniqueness.
