Drypoint with Chine Collé Workshop

Drypoint with Chine Collé Workshop

Saturday 7th June 2025, 10am - 3pm

£50 / £45 for Printshare Members (please note new price!)

With Vicky Peake

Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique, where lines and textures are incised into a plate creating a burr that captures the ink to make a soft velvety line. Colour can be added to the plate using fine coloured papers, a technique known as Chine Colle. Using clear drypoint plastic, you’ll experiment with mark making, using a range of tools and techniques and learn how to prepare a plate, transfer an image, soak paper and ink and wipe your plate to create a unique series of prints.
