To Jean Womack:

Relief printing with Sculpey plates is from a printmaking class I
attended many years ago. Wish I could remember the name of the
instructor. I will e-mail you a copy of one of my prints that date
back to when I owned an etching press.

The Sculpey is rolled out like pie dough to about 1/4 inch
thick.......from the large slab, one cuts out a piece required for
the illustration intended.(4x4, etc.) Because of the softness of the
material, it can be easily etched into - or added to for relief
areas. The plate is then baked in an oven.......briefly like 8
minutes. It must be left - not too hard - because it will need a
bit of resilience to go thru the etching press.
Ink is applied to the plate and wiped as any other etching work.
The resulting print has a distinctive charm, an almost three
dimensional look.
I call it relief-etching. Don't remember what our instructor called -
or if she invented the process.

Hoping for clarity.........ElizA

Deliberately print off registration red and green and give your audience/
viewers 3D glasses!

All the best for sorting the problem and the exhibition, Barbara.
