Learn
 the drypoint printmaking process from start to finish! Features an 
introduction to the printing press (certification for members)
This beginner-friendly class
 is an introduction to drypoint, an engraving method where an image is 
drawn into a printing plate with sharp tools. No chemicals are needed to
 create beautiful intaglio prints that can range from precise and 
delicate to bold and graphic. This class will take you through the 
entire process of creating and printing drypoints from a plastic plate. 
You’ll learn how to prepare the plate, use the tools, ink, and print on 
an etching press.
Please come prepared with a 5 x 7 image that you will trace over using a sharp tool. The image will be created using a series of lines, so keeping it simple will allow enough time to complete the whole process during class time.
