The Farms: Intaglio Printmaking

Experience Level: Beginner

Create prints that mimic pen and ink drawings at Intaglio Printmaking on Thursday, Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in The Studio.

Local artist and art educator Sally Walsh will guide students as they create an Intaglio print. While printmaking usually involves an acid bath, oil-based inks and solvents, students will instead learn how to use all non-toxic and fumeless materials to accomplish the same result.

No prior drawing or printmaking experience is needed, but some hand strength is required to operate the press.

All participants will go home with at least one 5×7-inch print but may create more as time allows.

$50/person*. Register here. Registration will close Oct. 30 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

*Students are welcome to bring pictures or drawing ideas for inspiration.
