Available spots
Service Description
This 6 week course is for those with some previous experience in the process(es) of drypoint and/or etching. The sessions offer an opportunity to experiment further with intaglio printing by exploring direct (engraving) and indirect (chemical etching) techniques. Our experienced tutor, Laura, will demonstrate a variety of methods for you to try and will help you to discover your own way of working. Historically used to reproduce paintings and illustrate text, Intaglio techniques involve line drawing and mark making into the surface of a metal plate. The plate is then inked and run through an etching press. It's possible to create great detail and tonal value through the use of different tools and mark making. You will be shown how to print in monotone as well as how to experiment with colour using 'a la poupée' and 'chine collé'. You will be fully inducted to use the tools and equipment available at our studio. Basic materials will be provided (plates, paper, ink). Additional materials can be paid for during the sessions. You may wish to bring sketches or images with you to work from during sessions. Once you have completed this 6 week course you can apply to become a member of Norwich Printmaking Hub and can book onto our open access sessions. If you have any questions, check out our FAQ page or contact us via norwichprintmakers@gmail.com or via the Contact Us page! Please read our cancellation policy (below) before booking.
