Explore repeatable printmaking at its easiest, most accessible form. This workshop will teach you these ins and outs of non-chemical intaglio printmaking—a centuries-old technique for translating drawings and marks into a repeatable edition of prints. Using simple skills, artists will have the opportunity to discover the ease of quick and easy intaglio printing. Along the way, artists may learn about basic viscosity printing, chine colle and exploratory inking techniques. No experience necessary; beginners are encouraged!
