Non Toxic Printmaking Class at Cambridge Center for Adult Ed

I just saw this non-toxic printmaking class, if anyone else is into printmaking and wants to be able to do it in the studio without poisoning everyone! I have taken 1 printmaking class through the Brookline Adult Ed, and 4 German classes with Cambridge, and I have really liked all of them. This class will probably be at the Brattle Street building by High-Rise bakery in Harvard Square, and is a little over $200 for 8 classes on Thursday nights, starting mid-June.

This printmaking class is taught by someone from SMFA, and the primary reason I want to do it is to get a feel for the solarplate etching, and using the water based Akua etching ink. I have wanted to try these all winter but didn't want to get a ton of expensive supplies only to ruin them through blind trial and error. Here is the solarplate website, and here are a ton of images of work done with this process on flickr.

I also have a small manual table top press with felts than can accommodate about a 9"x18" plate, so if anyone ever wants to do any monoprints or lino cuts and doesn't have access to a press you are more then welcome to hang out with mine. I just got a small butcher block table to have a dedicated space to set this up too.
