Featured Class: Drypoint & Chine Collé
with Tallmadge Doyle
Transform Drawing Ideas Into Printmaking
We will begin with drypoint, drawing directly into plexiglass plates using a drypoint tool to create line, texture and value. We will combine Chine Colle with drypoint to add another layer of depth and interest. Chine Colle is a technique using Asian papers with wheat paste to simultaneously print and paste the cotton base sheet of paper with Gampi paper on the etching press.
This is a fast paced workshop where participants are encouraged to bring drawing ideas to experiment with.Many examples of drypoint and chine colle prints will be shown as examples to show the range of possibilities for these simple but versatile techniques.
Experience is welcome but not needed. All levels will be challenged.
