Drypoint etching is a simple intaglio print technique in which you scratch your design onto a surface and then print it onto dampened paper using a press. We will make designs on clear plastic and on recycled cartons. We print with black and coloured inks and also add colour with tissue paper, a technique called ‘chine collé’.

Suitable for all levels including artists and complete beginners. No experience necessary.

Please wear old clothes as printing can be messy.

N.B. You can buy a ticket for both the Monoprint Day and Drypoint Day together for £150! Click here to find out more
