Eva, Copper Plate Gravure

Last year at this time I took a workshop with Lothar Osterberg and with much help from Lothar and his assistant I made a number of prints from my plate. There was some problem with dust spots in the tissue but time restraints prevented me from doing a remake. The entire process was analogue. I started with an original in camera 8 x 10 negative and made a film positive on line film. The tissue we used was from Bostick and Sullivan.

Just lovely! Sounds like a tremendous amount of work- beautiful result.

All the best,

I have great respect for Lothar and taking 6 or 7 people through this complex process is quite an undertaking. I do think, if left to my own devices, I could have created a better film positive. Next, with the help of the printmakers at the college where I teach, I hope to pursue this further. Some folks in the workshop pursued a hybrid approach. (In one case doing color separations. Wonderful results there as well.) I chose the full analogue just for the sake of it.
