Create prints that mimic pen and ink drawings at Intaglio Printmaking. Local artist and art educator Sally Walsh will guide students as they create an intaglio print, emphasizing the “line” much like a pen and ink drawing. While printmaking usually involves an acid bath, oil-based inks and solvents, students will instead learn how to use all non-toxic and fumeless materials to accomplish the same result. All students will go home with at least one 5″x7″ print, but may create more as time allows.
$60/person. Registration closes Oct. 7 or when the class has reached capacity. All sales are final. If desired, students are welcome to bring pictures or drawing ideas for inspiration.
Experience Level: Beginner. No prior drawing or printmaking experience is needed, but some hand strength is required to operate the press.
