About
Combine the printmaking methods of intaglio (in which the surface is etched to create grooves) and monotype (the surface is flat) as you create drypoint plates and add multiple colors. You'll use oil-based inks with an acrylic plate to create one-of-a-kind images that will be “printed” onto paper using the etching press.
This six-hour workshop is a great introduction to printmaking as well as how to use the press. All aspects of intaglio will be covered, including how to properly incise, ink, and wipe your plates. Additionally, multiple colors will be added after this step to create unique prints.
You'll learn how to dampen paper and calibrate the press for beautiful printed imagery. Because you'll be using oil-based ink, you'll be able to create multiple “drops” or layers of ink on one sheet of paper, deepening the dimension of imagery.
