Drypoint etching and working with the etching press

In this drypoint etching introduction, studio guide Lise Van den Broucke shows step by step how to carve lines and textures directly into a plate with a needle. This non-toxic printing technique — no acid or chemicals — produces expressive, powerful lines that are then printed on paper with ink. Bring plenty of images, sketches and inspiration. After the introduction you can keep working on your etching during open lab.
