Printmaking using Plaster of Paris -- No press or paper required!
Leave a comment or question down below, I'd love to hear what you think! Don't forget to subscribe to keep up with new projects. This video demos how I make a plaster print using a copper plate mezzotint, ink, and plaster. I've come across this method over the years in various articles and word of mouth, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!
This works with linocuts, etchings, aquatint, or even woodcuts (if you seal the wood first), and requires no press, Barens, or even paper!
I'd test it out on an old plate before trying it on something you care about, in case it does not work out how you'd expect or damages the printing matrix.
Materials I used in this project:
Printing matrix (mezzotint plate in this case)
Plaster of Paris
Plexiglass sheet (as base of mold) -- any smooth plastic should work...
Wire meshing
Plastic drop cloth
Bucket to mix plaster
Dust mask
Gloves
½" tall wood strips
glue gun
nails/hammer
picture hanging wire
printing ink
I used a mezzotint plate for the image, if you'd like to see a video about that, I have one here...Mezzotint basics video: http://youtu.be/rpbt6tjjjZE
