Drypoint with Recycled Materials | Thur. May 8 | 6:00 - 10:00 PM
Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique in which an image is scratched into a metal or plastic plate. The scratches produce a “burr”: a raised portion of metal or plastic that catches and holds ink while the smooth portions of the plate can be wiped clean. With the help of an intaglio printing press, this ink gets transferred to a dampened sheet of paper.
This class will demonstrate drypoint techniques with "recycled materials" such as salad lids, and how to ink and transfer images onto paper. Since the image is created by mechanically scratching the surface of the plate, almost any tool can be used – from traditional drypoint tools, to sandpaper, sewing needles, knives etc.
Instructor: Rie Hasegawa
All materials included. No experience necessary.
