Printmaking
Woodcut/Lino: Relief process in which an image is drawn on the surface of a block of wood or piece of linoleum. The areas that are not to print are removed with tools, knives or chisels. The remaining image surface is inked and the image is transferred to paper either by hand-rubbing the surface or by running the block of wood or piece of linoleum through a press.
Solar Plate: Solar plate is a light sensitized steel backed polymer material used by artists as an alternative to hazardous print techniques. It is a safe approach to etching and relief printing that does not use grounds, acids or solvents. It is exposed with a UV light (the Sun) and developed with water.
