Drypoint printmaking arternative, "intaglio" workshop

Drypoints prints are processed in the same way as etchings, by first inking the plate, then wiping it clean with scrim. T he paper is placed soaked and dampened on top of the plate and then run through the printing press.

The printing is done through an intaglio press where ink is pushed into the sunken area by applying heavy pressure in order to press the paper into the inked marks.

Notes for Participants:

• Suitable for absolute beginners AND experienced artists.
  
• What to bring. Sketch book, photographs or other source of inspiration. Participant may also wish to bring own drawing kit and craft knife if they have them.
