Intro to Drypoint

This course is well suited to both those who are new to printmaking and those that wish to add another technique to their practice. By the completion of this course, students will be able to engrave an image on a CD and take home a beautiful small edition of prints. Dry Point is the first step towards intaglio etching and is a lot like drawing; it's a fantastic way to jump into the wonderful world of printmaking, using a scribe (etching tool), you'll carefully scratch an image of your choosing into a recycled CD, and how to apply ink to that scratched image and print the CD plate by hand.
