Drypoint Workshop + 1 Open Studio Session

Discover the art of drypoint printmaking in this hands-on workshop, designed for artists and enthusiasts alike! In this session, you’ll learn how to create beautiful prints using this intaglio technique, which involves incising directly onto a plate and requires the use of a printing press to produce your final artwork.

This is the simplest and most direct manner to create an intaglio print, as it does not require any harsh chemicals or long process.
Traditionally, Copper Plate is used for drypoint, however the invention of plexiglass allow for a more carefree, and economical alternative. 

Drypoint techniques can also be incorporated into monotype or etching prints.

• Creating Your Drypoint Plate
  Explore materials such as plexiglass for making your drypoint plate. You'll learn how to incise your design onto the plate using various tools, achieving expressive and textured lines that hold ink in fine grooves.
