An Introduction to Drypoint with Mai Osawa

Drypoint is a beautiful intaglio printmaking technique which lends itself to expressive drawings and fluid mark making. With the use of clear acrylic plates your designs and artwork are easily transferred to the plate and, when inked and wiped carefully, produce beautiful and unique velvety original prints.

Mai Osawa’s four week course provides a good introduction to traditional printmaking and will give you a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities of this technique, including methods of inking up plates à la poupée, the use of Chine-collé and exploring the Goetz Technique (the use of carborundum on PETG).
