FREE: October 20 | Drypoint Printing (1 Day)
This class is free or you can pay what you can as a donation to Spudnik!
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.
This class is FREE and open to the public. Registration is required to manage the number of participants and prepare the materials needed for the workshop. Donations are welcome and absolutely optional, and will help Spudnik Press with its operational expenses.
About the Campaign:
Make At Spudnik is a series of 1-day workshops that is free and open to the public, as an effort to reach more print-curious audiences and provide an opportunity for interested participants to experience printmaking basics without the financial barrier to learning. This month, we are inviting you to join us for a 1-Day Drypoint Printing class led by Teaching Artist Anna Wagner.
