This project was an incredible experiential design experience in which I learned how to create a copper plate using transparent laser copier sheets, a light exposure table, screen printing methods, acid, and aqua tint, in addition to printing with etching ink on a high-pressure press. I used the same image to learn how to produce cyanotypes on different papers.
