SUMMARY:MAKE at Spudnik Workshop Series: Drypoint Printing
DESCRIPTION:About the Program: \nPart of the MAKE/MADE Program\, 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. \nAbout the Workshop: \nThis 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. \nStudents 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. \nRegistration for this free event 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. \nREGISTER FOR FREE \n——————– \nPrograms at Spudnik Press are partially supported by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency\, the Driehaus Foundation\, and the Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. \nThis project is partially supported by a Chicago Arts Recovery Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.
