This hands on workshop introduces teachers to drypoint etching, a direct and expressive printmaking technique where participants use sharp needles to create rich, velvety lines and burr driven marks on inexpensive plexiglass plates. Over the session, educators will learn plate preparation, inking, and printing methods. We will explore ways to combine drypoint with simple monoprinting techniques for unique artistic results. By the end , teachers will leave with practical low cost strategies and lesson ideas to bring high quality line making and authentic printmaking back into their art rooms.
