No class on October 9
Instructor: Loree Ovens
Class capacity: 6 participants
Drypoint is related to etching however the surface of the matrix is manipulated manually without the use of 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. Both processes 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.
