Drypoint is related to etching; however, the surface of the matrix is manipulated manually without using acid. Instead, the image on the plate is created manually through scratching, sanding, gouging and burnishing. Chine collé is a process of adhering thin coloured paper to a print during the printing process. Participants will create their own images and learn how to ink up and print using an etching press. The plate-making process can easily be done in a home studio, and both methods can open up new possibilities in printmaking. The class will be using oil-based water wash-up inks.

Suitable for all levels, no prior experience is needed.

About the Print Instructor: Loree Ovens (she/her) studied Fashion Technique and Design at Holland College. She also received an arts diploma at Sheridan College, SOCAD, majoring in fabrics and earned a BFA in Printmaking from OCADU.

Loree works in various media, although she is better known for her printmaking, where she creates works on paper that are reminiscent of old documents, aged textiles or barkcloth. She specializes in intaglio techniques, especially etching, aquatint, drypoint and collagraph. Primarily working with Japanese Washi and often combining surface design techniques for textiles, Loree’s fascination with line, pattern, and architecture continues to inspire her work.
