Drypoint is a very popular technique, and an ideal introduction to Intaglio printmaking processes. All skill levels are welcome - no prior experience required!
Our teaser weekend workshop has a duration of 2.5 hours, where you will choose one of our templates to create your own small plate, reusing a CD, to learn how to ink and print on paper. You will get a first impression of what drypoint printing has to offer, and maybe you will discover a new passion.
Join us on Sat 6th December 2025 from 11 am to 1:30 pm (please note that the pictures shown are not the templates)
We also offer a Drypoint 6-week course starting in February, so the teaser is a great way to try it out and fill the gap in the meantime.
At Just Art It, we are passionate about printmaking, and we practice non-toxic methods and techniques. This means that we don’t use chemicals and our inks are professional, non-toxic inks.
The workshops will also cover the use and maintenance of printmaking tools and the printing press, hand printing techniques, printing process planification and paper handling, the fundamentals of colour mixing and print registration.
This is what our students said about our Drypoint course:
“I’ve never done drypoint or something like that but I really felt confortable practicing a new art technic.Thanks Elena for share your knowledge and being a patient teacher “
“Great variety of tools provided to use during the course. All materials and equipment were great.”
These courses are ideal for complete beginners or if you wish to refresh your printmaking skills. As for all our art courses, all materials are included in the course fees, and we cater for small groups in order to dedicate one-to-one tuition time to every student. Join us!
