Nov. 1, 7, 8 & 15 at 12-4pm
at the IC Press Co-op (225 N. Gilbert)
pay-what-you-can: $50-250

This workshop is an introduction to the curious world of image tactility through intaglio platemaking and printmaking processes. By using metal & acid at PS1’s community print shop, beginners and beyond are welcome to investigate the texture and tonality inherent within the graphic or hand-drawn imagery of intaglio.

Participants will use an array of tools: etching needles, crayons, sharpies, dremel engraving, paint brushes, sponges, and more. With these tools in hand, we'll explore both classic and modern approaches to intaglio mark-making. Methods in plate preparation, drypoint, line etching, aquatint, stop-out, print-shop safety/etiquette, and printing technique will be discussed throughout the duration of the workshop!

At the onset of the first session participants are encouraged to enter with a rough idea, sketch, or digital image to be transformed into a two-state edition of prints. Participants can expect to leave with a new approach to creating texture within a line drawing, information necessary to continue etching and printing your own editions of intaglio prints! :)

Open to ages 18+.

Registration deadline: October 19th
