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.
