Drypoint belongs to the Intaglio family of print techniques 
where an image is incised into a surface, 
which is then inked and transferred onto paper through a press, 
producing exquisite velvety images.

The course will present an overview of the historical and contemporary use 
and thinking surrounding print, including studies of individual artists. 
Students will take part in a series of intense and structured skill-based sessions. 
Through one-on-one guidance and group conversations they will be encouraged 
to produce a small collection of prints based on original ideas.
