About this event

  • 7 hours

This one-day taster course is a celebration of intaglio line! From the sharp and delicate lines that are the quintessential marks of etching to the fabulously blurred and velvety lines of drypoint, this course is a great opportunity to think about the compelling ways we can build an image through line alone. You will leave the workshop with some prints you have made, and, hopefully, with a mind full of ideas for future printing projects. This is an excellent way to get a feel for whether intaglio printmaking is an area that you would like to explore further down the line.


The workshop will take place on Friday 7 June, 10:00 - 17:00. All materials provided.


Our taster sessions offer a hands on introduction to some of the key printmaking processes offered here at Peacock.
