About this Event
Have you completed an etching workshop and have a plate ready to print? Explore Your Marks is an opportunity to bring that already-etched plate back into the studio and experiment with the expressive possibilities of intaglio printing. Through creative inking, plate tone and a variety of wiping techniques, you’ll discover how the same etched plate can produce a range of unique prints. This workshop encourages play, experimentation and confidence while developing your printing skills.
Who is the course for?
