Experimenting with Drypoint
Artist: Kay Watanabe
Date: 23 and 24th of November
10am to 4pm
Cost: $385 / members $365
workshop code: KWNov24
This two-day drypoint workshop by Kay Watanabe provides the basics of drypoint and additional printmaking techniques. Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking method. Images are scratched into a metal or plastic plate with a pointed tool like an etching needle. The scratches create a burr along their edges which holds ink, resulting in expressive lines in the print.
Participants will be introduced to various materials and tools.
On Day1, participants will create monochromatic drypoint prints, using plastic plates.
On Day 2, They will experiment with such techniques as chine-colle, a la poupee and a relief roll up on a drypoint plate.
The class is suitable for printmakers who want to learn drypoint which can be used independently and used alongside with other printmaking and art techniques. It is also suitable for beginner printmakers who want to learn the intaglio technique which requires an etching press.
