Discover the art of photogravure and turn your digital photos into timeless prints.

Day 1 begins with hands-on guidance in Photoshop to refine your image and prepare it for the photogravure process. You’ll transfer your image onto a photopolymer plate with an inkjet printer, then expose and develop it using water and UV light—completely solvent- and acid-free.

Day 2 dives into creative exploration. Experiment with different printmaking techniques and materials, including the delicate art of Chine Colle using rice papers and digitally layered colours to enhance your work.

Join us for a transformative experience in photogravure, where your digital images take on new life in fine art printmaking.

Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
