Intaglio: Shaped Plates and Low-Toxic Methods

Intaglio prints don’t have to be rectangular! In this workshop, we will create shaped intaglio prints using low-toxic methods. Students will learn to hand cut and bevel copper plates, make their matrix with low-toxic methods (line etching with BIG ground, spray paint aquatint, drypoint) and then print and print again. We will also cover color techniques such as á la poupée and viscosity rolls. The possibilities are endless in this experimental workshop. All levels. Printmaking studio.
