Ken finished his project having completed 43 monoprints entitled Notes From the Edge of the World. He used stencils, stamps, and watercolors to compose these bold yet ethereal pieces. Ken also made a series of edition prints using etched copper plates and solar plates. They will be available for sale as single prints and as a portfolio suite of seven.
The picture above gives you an idea of how we make the editioned prints. The orange piece is the solar plate, which is etched using UV rays from our lovely new solar plate box rather then the sun (which allows us to make plates even on the snowiest of Steamboat days!)
The above two images are the drawings on vellum that Ken made using black ink. They are the templates for the solar plates; when we put the image over the plate in the UV box, it burns away the areas that are black. Then we can make them any color by wiping ink into the plate.
