Dry Point
Dry Point
Drypoint is quite literally drawing with a dry point onto a surface to create a printing plate which enables you to reproduce your design many times.
We will explore the process creating plates on different surfaces – card and acrylic sheets. You will learn how to create a plate, ink up a plate and print your plate using our lovely Wilfred Kimber printing press.
Suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have already done other courses and who want to develop further skills.
All are welcome
All materials included
You will be using inks & paint, so bring an apron or wear suitable clothes
Please bring found images, sketches or ideas you would like to work with. Sample images will also be available.
