Learn and explore the intaglio printing process in this full day drypoint workshop. Throughout the day you will receive expert guidance on how to design and make a drypoint print.
You will be shown how to draw your designs using a drypoint etching tool, how to ink up your acetate plates and how to use the etching press to create your individual prints. There will also be the opportunity to explore the Chine-collé technique to add colour to your prints.
Images and inspiration will be provided but you could also transform one of your own drawing studies / photographs or printed images into a drypoint print - images should be no larger than A5 please.
