Artist Lucy Gell teaches you the art of dry point etching. Dry point etching is an intaglio print process using acrylic sheets, aluminum or silver card. This inexpensive direct and beautiful printmaking technique can produce simple, strong images with emphasis on the texture and quality of line. The intaglio process is when the ink is held in the contours and grooves of the surface of the plate.
What to Expect:
- Introduction to Dry point etching using acrylic sheets. Lucy will explain the process with a short demonstration which will include preparing a plate, inking and printing it on the etching press.
- Explore the different ways of mark making using various tools and methods of creating texture and line.
- Work on plates to prepare for inking and printing. Experiment with different ways of inking and cleaning of the plate to achieve the desired effect.
- Ink and print multiple prints within time of workshop.
Images can be printed up to A6 in size, due to size of etching press.
What to Bring:
Please bring any images or drawings to work from. Lucy will also provide imagery for people to work from.
