About

Drypoint Printmaking and Chine collé


Try your hand at this simple non-toxic printmaking technique developed in the 15th century with Chine collé - bringing colour and interest to your prints without the use of a second plate or block to create a unique series of prints.  


This hands-on workshop is suitable for all levels of experience and none! You will learn the fundamentals of plate-making, use of simple drypoint tools, inking, wiping, press printing techniques, and how to apply fine papers using Chine collé technique.


Drypoint is valued for its fresh, velvety and expressive lines and is the most direct of all intaglio techniques. Using a sharp drypoint needle you will learn how to transfer or translate your chosen drawing or image onto a drypoint plate. 


Choose from a variety of coloured papers to enhance your print.  Chine collé uses fine papers that are fixed to a sturdier paper during the printing process. Japanese and Chinese papers were traditionally used however, any material that is fine enough to be printed on can be used e.g. mulberry paper, maps, sheet music and even fabric.
