April 20 | Drypoint Printing (4 Hours)

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.

April 30 | Collagraph Printing 101 (1 Day)

This 4-hour workshop introduces students to the process of creating a mixed-media matrix that is printed in relief. Understanding how collaged materials visually transform when printed in relief will show students the transformative property of printmaking.
Students will gain familiarity with collagraph printing, plate wiping techniques, and relief printing. By the end of class, all students will have a finished collagraph plate and have at least one print of the plate in black ink on white paper.

This class would benefit students who are looking for an experimental and abstract way to understand the fundamentals of printmaking.
