This is the fourth video focusing on the process of sugar-lift for intaglio printmaking. In this video, the plate is submerged in hot water and the hardground is lifted away by the action of the hot water and the sugar-lift solution. After this step of the process is complete, an aquatint can be applied to the plate and etched to add a controllable tone to the exposed areas.

This is the third of four videos showing the step-by-step process of the sugar-lift technique for intaglio printmaking. Picking up right where Part 2 abruptly left off, the application of the harground over the plate continues.

This video continues with the step-by-step process I use for sugar-lift in my home studio. This video focuses on my approach to applying liquid hardground to the plate once the sugar-lift has had time to setup and dry sufficiently. Also discussed: safe handling of liquid hardground and solvents. Video ends abruptly but picks right back up in Intaglio Printmaking: Sugar-Lift Techniques (Part 3/4).

This is an introduction to the technique of sugar-lift for intaglio printmaking. While there are various approaches and recipes out there, I'm using what I happen to have at home. My sugar-lift solution is made using sugar in the raw, water, 7th Generation dish soap, and some Blick liquid watercolor. This is the first of four videos that walk you through the process. Video 1/4 describes the tec...

This is a simple and inexpensive registration jig that works well for multi-block and reductive relief printmaking, and is suitable for printing by hand or on a press. This jig is made of foam core and Ternes-Burton registration pins and tabs. When using the pins and tabs and printing on a press, it is essential to make sure the hight of the printing block is greater than the height of the pins...

This is a simple but slightly less conventional approach to a reductive woodblock print that involves rotating the block and printing each carving stage twice to achieve a more unpredictable result. This process works best when each layer is allowed to dry before printing the next. This can be done using: wood blocks, MDF, shina or birch plywood, Easy-Carve blocks, standard linoleum, or even si...
