Re: gravure
Jack, If you can send me contact info for this person I would appreciate that, yes I did mean web site or publication. Scott: I do not know Daria well at all. She was THE photogravure printer for Crown Point Press and still is as far as I know. We met @ our 3rd street facility w/her knowing me more than me knowing her. I hear from students, she really knows her stuff. On the other hand, I know another man out here who is also very good, as well as looking for a job. He is, I believe, perhaps from Puerto Rico, but I'm not sure of that either. Anyway, he is a nice guy and obviously knows what he is doing when it comes to photogravure. His name is Unai San Martin and he lives here, where I do, in Marin. If I can help you further, let me know. And, oh, I think Daria's email is: dsyulak@sfai.edu Cheers Jack PR-203-1, Daria Swyulak Photogravure 3 Units Prerequisite: 3 units of printmaking coursework This class will provide students the opportunity to reproduce their photographic images onto copper plates so that they can be printed with oil–based ink on a high quality, archival rag paper. The technique is based on the original Carl Klic / Henry Fox Talbot photogravure process. Students will first learn how to enlarge their B&W negatives to produce traditional continuous–tone film positives in the darkroom, and later, also learn to produce digital positives in the lab. The positive will then be exposed onto gelatin that the students will sensitize themselves. It will then be adhered to a copper plate, aquatinted, step–etched in various Baumé’s of ferric chloride, and finally, inked, hand–wiped and run through a press as a fine art intaglio print. Adding other intaglio techniques to the image, such as drypoint, hardground, softground and spitbite aquatint, will be explored. There
