Introduction to Drypoint

Led by artist Hannelore Smith, this hands-on drypoint workshop invites you to experiment, play, and explore ideas through print. Using your own image as a starting point, you’ll draw up, scratch, ink, and print your design using this expressive, tactile process, working with our portable table-top craft presses.

Once you’ve made your drypoint plate, you’ll explore how to get the most from it through playful approaches to image-making — including overprinting, using stencils/masks and incorporating collage.

This isn’t about perfection or rigid steps — instead, enjoy valuing process over product.
