Dry Point Workshop
About the Course:
Dry point offers the wonderful opportunity to create art that resembles traditional etching without all the expensive materials that are typically required. Using a sharp pointed instrument, you scratch the image or design on a sheet of plexiglas, then ink the plate, wipe off the ink and print. The scratch marks are what hold the ink and are printed. The printing is done by rubbing the back of the paper as it sits on the inked plate, with a baren or spoon.
