Explore the beauty of drypoint printmaking with Chine Collé in this engaging one-day workshop. Perfect for beginners or for those looking to expand their creative printmaking skills, this session offers a friendly and supportive environment to learn and experiment.
Drypoint is an expressive intaglio printmaking technique known for its velvety lines, rich textures, and atmospheric effects. Throughout the day, you will:
· Create your own drypoint plate using a drypoint needle. Feel free to bring photos, sketches, or ideas to work from.
· Learn how to ink your plate and apply colour using the painterly à la poupée method.
· Add delicate layers of colour and texture using chine collé—employing coloured tissue paper to introduce colour into your prints.
· Print your artwork on an etching press to achieve professional-quality results.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a series of unique prints, along with the skills and confidence to continue exploring drypoint printmaking independently.
All materials will be provided.
