Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique in which an image is scratched into a metal or plastic plate. The scratches produce a “burr”: a raised portion of metal or plastic that catch and hold ink while the smooth portions of the plate can be wiped clean. With the help of an intaglio printing press, this ink gets transferred to a dampened sheet of paper.
This workshop will demonstrate drypoint techniques either with traditional materials, copper plate, rigid vinyl or recycled materials, and how to ink and transfer images onto paper. Since the image is created by mechanically scratching the surface of the plate, almost any tool can be used – from traditional drypoint tools, to sandpaper, sewing needles, knives, etc. Class instruction will also include producing other techniques such as Chine Collé (collage technique in printmaking), À la poupée (inking up different colors on a single plate) and multi layers with your drypoints. All techniques are made with non-toxic printmaking materials and processes.
