December 15 | Drypoint Printing (4 Hours)
You can pay what you can for this 1-day class as a donation to Spudnik Press! Your donations will help Spudnik Press with its operational expenses.
This workshop is great for ambitious beginners curious about intaglio techniques. The drypoint process covers the basic skills needed to become familiar with etching and other intaglio processes, and therefore would set students up for further success with intaglio in the future.
Students will learn drypoint techniques, plate wiping techniques, and gain familiarity with intaglio printing. Students will leave with a finished drypoint plate and print, as the class hours will be devoted to learning technique versus creating a perfected artwork.
Please limit one (1) slot and name per email registration. Registration is required to manage the number of participants and prepare the materials needed for the workshop.
