Drypoint is a form of platemaking where a sharp instrument is used to incise lines into a matrix. Through this, a certain amount of the plate material is displaced and curls over – creating a burr. When printed, this burr creates a fuzzy, velvety line quality that is unique to the process. In this course we will create our own plates on plexiglass, learn how to proof our prints, and move on to create a set of monoprints. Our first meeting we will be creating our plates and proofing them; our second meeting will be about experimenting with printing. Here, we will explore options like Chine-Collé, a la poupee, and monotype techniques.
