Drypoint & Relief Printmaking

11 Week Class | Available

Within this class, students will pursue both intaglio printmaking on metal plates, using sharp tools and scribes to gouge the metal to create their images, as well as traditional relief printing on wood or linoleum surfaces. This course will be split, exploring drypoint for one part and relief printing for the other. Students may also choose to concentrate on one discipline for the duration of the class.
