(4) Thursdays, October 19-November 9, from 10:30 – 12:30 PM.

Member $165 / Non-Member $180;  includes $35 materials fee

Do you like to draw? Learn drypoint, one of the most direct printmaking techniques, combined with chine colle, an elegant method of adding color to your prints using colored papers. Draw lines directly on plexiglass or copper plates with a pointed stylus to create the image. Use Japanese rice paper and found papers as well as painterly techniques of monoprinting to add color and texture to the prints. Learn how to print a small edition of your work and proper labeling of prints. You may bring line drawings to the first class, but we will also work on sketches during class time. 

No previous experience required. Water based materials. Beginner to advanced.
