Workshop Title: Intaglio 101: Drypoint Printing

Teaching Artist: Emma Gatzulis

Capacity: 8

Date(s): Sunday, March 22nd 12pm-3pm and Saturday, March 28th 12pm-3pm

Workshop Description: This workshop is the perfect opportunity to test the waters of intaglio printmaking. Dry point is a straightforward and tactile process that allows you to draw directly onto a copper plate with an etching needle. The result is a textured line that emulates the look of an engraving that doesn’t rely on the technical skill the process usually requires. Zygote teaching artist Emma Gatzulis will teach you everything you need to know about plate preparation, drypoint techniques, and printing your very own intaglio prints. At the conclusion of the workshop, students will have a finished small edition of drypoint prints.
