8/10/25 Printmaking: Drypoint Intaglio Using Household Materials

$35.00

Traditionally, drypoint prints are made with sheets of metal and expensive printing presses. In this class you will learn how to upcycle your plastic recycling instead of copper or zinc plates and use a pasta machine instead of a traditional printing press. It’s printmaking for the people!

In this class, I will show you how to use a tool to scratch your image into rescued plastic recycling, ink the plate, and print it. Please wear work clothes as this process can be a little messy.

All materials provided.
