A 4 day print workshop covering drypoint and etching with aluminium
10am - 4pm on Thursday 26 - Sunday 29 November
During this workshop you will learn about;
Drypoint is a direct engraving process using tools to score and scratch lines into a metal plate. The lines form a burr giving drypoint prints a distinctive velvety look. It's a quick process using no chemicals.
Line Etching with Aluminium, using non-toxic printmaking techniques, acrylic resists and etching with copper sulphate/salt.
Lift Resist Etching with Aluminium, using Kremelta to make painterly, gestural marks, acrylic resists and etching with copper sulphate/salt.
Printing combinations of drypoint, line and lift resist, multi-plate registration & printing, colour printing etc.
Tutored by Mark Graver, who is professional artist/printmaker and qualified art teacher, specialising in non-toxic acrylic resist etching. Mark is author of the printmaking handbook Non-Toxic Printmaking (2011, A&C Black, London).
All techniques are non-toxic. No acids or petroleum solvents are used in the studio.
Etching is with metal salt solutions, printing with water based Akua intaglio inks.
The workshop is $120 per person per day including materials.
