DRYPOINT PRINTING - SPRING LANDSCAPES

Join artist / printmaker Cath Brooke and spend the morning making a series of Drypoint prints.

The workshop will involve making an intaglio drypoint printing plate, using close up landscapes as our inspiration – images can be from sketches or photographs of a favourite view or it can be an imagined landscape. Please bring along any sketches or photographs you’d like to work from, or Cath will have a range of images that you can trace or take inspiration from..

You will be introduced to a range of mark making tools and techniques to make a drypoint etching, using a plastic plate, earn about printmaking inks and papers suitable for drypoint, and explore different inking methods.

By the end of the workshop you should have a small edition of 3 or 4 prints to take home. The printing plates will be approx. A5 size with the paper around 18 x 25cm – if you wish, please bring a small folder to take your prints home.

Printmaking can get messy, please wear old clothes or bring an apron.
