Learn the basics or get a refresher on intaglio printing. Starting with dry-point, learn how to physically make incised marks and textures on a plate, that will hold ink for printing. After learning the fundamentals of inking, wiping, and printing an intaglio plate, you will learn various approaches to etching lines, tones, and textures into a copper plate. You will have the opportunity to experiment, rework your plate, and combine different techniques to create an editionable print.
Class enrollment includes weekend studio access to work on class projects during posted Open Hours.
Participants are responsible for providing copper plates, newsprint, and printing paper. Copper plates and select paper will be available for sale onsite. Other materials will be provided.

An essential consideration before working with photo-lithography plates is the creation of strong visual sources integrating rich imagery and a diverse graphic language. High-quality photolithography prints stem from compelling drawings, thoughtfully composed visual material—both analog and digital—and the effective use of materials and surfaces in creating the source image.
This intensive two-day session provides artists with guided instruction for the development of visual sources for photo-lithography. Participants will experiment with a range of drawing materials and techniques on frosted Dura-Lar, with an emphasis on analog methods and optional integration of digital imagery.
