Photogravure refers to a set of printmaking techniques combining photography and intaglio engraving. The various processes explored at Baldessin Press impress digital source files on polymer plates which are inked with traditional French printing ink and printed on a variety of classic manual and motorised presses. Enrol for a photogravure weekend workshop to discover the practice, or book a session with in-house photogravure technician Silvi Glattauer.
