Explore the intaglio printmaking technique of drypoint using recycled materials to create unique impressions and variations. Using tetra-pak material (think milk cartons and soup stock), participants will create drawn images by scratching directly into the tetra-pak material with an etching needle. The incised lines create a burr that holds ink, producing rich, textured prints. Participants will learn how to make a drypoint plate, print on an etching press and incorporate paper collage elements using the chine collé process.
Most materials included. Please save your tetra-pak and bring it to the workshop! All other tools and materials are included.
