Dan Welden is my cousin and I just now found this video on YT.   I knew about Solarplate, but this was the first time I've actually seen the process carried out.  Please suggest to him Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony as background music  for his next demonstration.  :-)

Nice Birds! ;-)

Nicely done ... I would have liked to have seen the inside of his UV box.

Dan you are very good,I’m impress with your instructions clearly on what to do. You make it very easy.how long does the plate last after one used.

also love the magnetic board .. revolutionary!

Beautiful image! 👍 👍 👍

Thanks Dan!

Really really interesting and a fabulously clear step by step process video - I'm now trying to track down all the necessary components here in the UK! Thank you so much  - as a printmaker, having recently experimented with cyanotype, this seems like a  great next natural step

Beautiful!!!

love this video. so easy to follow. beautiful process. great to see the home made UV box .. what a great idea.. thank you

A really good instructional video. Thanks Dan.

You obviously love your job. Thanks for posting. Phil.

Thanks Bill, inspiring and helpful.  I have recently taken to print making and I can’t wait to try this.  I’m doubt it will be as easy as you make it look but hey, learning is part of the fun. Brilliant!

A great technique and studio to work in.  I can see why you are so sucessful with your workshops all over the world.  Thank you.

Amazing detail for an easy process.

Estupendo

Sorry I made a Mistake Solar plate.

Its an interesting cross of photography and etching. Ecofriendly is a big plus. One shortcoming I see is that the depth seems fixed, as you need to expose through the full polymer layer or it comes off with the rubbing. So the final print will be a bit more 'flat'.

Thanks for sharing your tutorial. Is the film transpatency a digital positive or a  digital negative that is used for this solarplate process?

Why do yo brush over the soaked paper while you are blotting it. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing your skills
