Printing onto both fabric and paper we will spend the day exploring the very popular drypoint etching process. We will look into various collage techniques and explore colour and texture to produce experimental and high quality finished prints through the etching presses.
We will begin the workshop by choosing relevant reference material from which we will be working from, you are encouraged to bring along your own drawings / sketches / photos / magazine pull outs. We will then talk through the etching plate, press and tools. You will etch your design onto an etching plate using various tools. After etching our plate we will begin the printing using quality Caligo inks onto mould made papers.
