Introduction to Dry Point etching with Mai Osawa. Saturday 19th October 10-4pm at Adam's Gallery
Drypoint is the simplest intaglio process, using a sharp metal point called a drypoint needle. With this tool, you scratch the line directly on to a metallic material or simply a sheet of plastic. By doing this you create on both sides of the line a ridge known as the burr which holds a quantity of ink, which then prints as a rich feathery smudge.
At this one-day workshop, we will use A6 and A5 size plates (plastic and drypoint paper) and so do bring some sketches and ideas if you would like. All materials are provided but do bring apron or cloth that you don’t mind getting inky, and a pack of lunch to keep us going!
