Drypoint is a very popular technique, and an ideal introduction to Intaglio printmaking processes. All skill levels are welcome—no prior experience required! Join us!
 Our teaser weekend workshop has a duration of 2.5 hours, where you will use one of our pre-made plates 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 passion! 
In the 6-week course, you will learn how to work with your designs at your own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Elena will do demonstrations and guide you in the process of creating your prints, and you will learn how to etch with different tools on various materials suitable for Drypoint, such a tetrapack and metal plates. We will explore complementary inking techniques like “A la poupée” or "roll up". No experience required! Join us!
