Join us for a creative, hands-on day exploring the beautiful and expressive technique of drypoint printmaking. Perfect for beginners and those looking to refresh their skills, this workshop will guide you through the process of creating your own original prints using traditional intaglio methods.

You’ll learn how to design, etch, ink, and print your image using specialist tools and an etching press — taking home a series of unique prints at the end of the day. Come and get inky in a relaxed, supportive setting and unlock a new creative skill!
