Drypoint on Recycled Materials

This class will demonstrate drypoint techniques with recycled materials such as plastic salad lids and containers, and how to ink and transfer image 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 and etc. Class instruction will also include producing other inking techniques such as 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.
