This workshop introduces students to the traditional craft of printing expressive, hand-drawn lines from copper plates. Over the span of four guided sessions, students will learn each step of the process—from preparing and grounding a 4x4” plate to drawing, biting, inking, and printing on the press. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas and imagery they’d like to explore. By the end of the course, students will have created a small edition of prints and a solid foundation in the intaglio technique.

This six‑week printmaking workshop offers a hands‑on exploration of multiple print processes, guiding participants through relief printing using linoleum, drypoint on plexiglass, and screenprinting. Each week focuses on building technical skills while encouraging experimentation and creative problem‑solving. In the final class, students will bring these techniques together to create a hybrid print, combining processes to develop a layered and personal finished work. Suitable for beginners and those with some printmaking experience, this workshop emphasizes process, versatility, and creative discovery.

This entry-level workshop will introduce participants to; making simple negatives for printing, safe and proper materials handling, paper preparation and coating, exposure, processing, and toning.
