Introduction to Drypoint Printmaking

Drypoint is a type of intaglio printing where a sharp tool is used to ‘draw’ your image into a printing plate. It is similar to etching but does not use chemicals.

In this fun 3-hour workshop you will learn how to create your own printing plate and produce wonderful prints to take home! We will work on small acetate sheets and recycled tetrapak, creating images or designs of your choice, and you will learn how to create interesting effects.

This workshop is suitable for beginners, no experience necessary, so book your spot soon and have fun learning a new skill!
