Art Link Central workshops planned for June and August 2011

Carol Seymour continues in her work, to raise funds for Art Link Central.  This is a very worthwhile arts organization which coordinates excellent opportunities in an ever growing range of contexts in the community including prisons,  people who may face mental health issues and/or learning disabilities.

Photopolymer Film for Photo Etch

A message from Green Door Printmaking Studio:

Dear Printmaker,   

Green Door Printmaking Studio have always endorsed and promoted the use of Photopolymer Film in photographic etching to our artists and students.  We are now able to sell this product at an excellent price online!

The Uses of Photopolymer Film

Photopolymer Film, otherwise known as Photec, is used by Printmakers in the photopolymer etching techniques promoted by Green Door Printmaking Studio (and other studios like it). 

Photopolymer Film is also used: 

    - in other similar photographic etching techniques, such as Keith Howard's Intaglio - Type

    - by workers in the PCB Industry using plating processes and associated chemicals to produce printed circuit boards (PCBs).  

    - by Jewellers to transfer artwork or designs to metal

Our high resolution film - which is now available for purchase online and in our studio - can be used in all of the above processes. It was previously stocked and sold online by Sally Dyas.

For more information and our prices, please visit:

www.photopolymerfilm.co.uk

We are committed to making life easier for printmakers, and this will help you to access a previously hard to come by product. I hope that you will check it out and tell other printmakers who you think might be interested in it.
