Drypoint Printmaking: May 23

Drypoint Printmaking

Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique where an image is directly scratched into a printing plate with an etching needle, inked and printed. This versatile drypoint technique requires no chemicals or plate preparation, allowing artists to make plates in any location, including outdoors.

 In this one day class, you'll complete a small portfolio of prints of your own design.

Prior printmaking experience is not required, and all materials and tools are provided. All materials and inks for this class are safe and non-toxic.

 Sunday, May 23 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
