Drypoint Etching Workshop

Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique where an image is incised into a plate using sharp metal ‘needle’ tools.  It’s an expressive printmaking technique which is close to drawing in its immediacy and responsiveness. You’ll learn how to create a plate, ink and clean your plate, soak paper and make a series of prints. You’ll explore drawing or design transfer, mark making, colour and tone and learn how inexpensive materials can be used to make amazing prints.   

Materials and refreshments will be provided. 

Please bring:

· An apron or old clothes you don’t mind getting ink on

· A packed lunch

· Something to inspire you

· Your creativity!
