Advanced DTP techniques - Aug 2025
From Fri, Aug 01, 2025 to Sun, Aug 03, 2025
This new workshop for 2025 is aimed at printmakers who have had some experience in making intaglio prints with polymer plates.
This workshop is three days long, and we will explore methods for using polymer plates for printmaking in ways beyond the simple single-plate, single-ink techniques we teach in our introductory DTP classes.
Some of the topics we will be covering are:
- Making and printing relief plates - making plates suitable for use on relief presses such as Vandercooks
- Multiple plate intaglio techniques - making duotone prints with two plates
- Printing on difficult substrates - such as plywood!
- Registration techniques
- Editioning techniques
- A la poupeé printing
- Chine collé techniques
- Making large plates and prints
This class is limited to 4 participants.
The workshop will be from 8:30AM to 5PM on August 1-3, 2025. We will conduct the workshop at our studio at 96 Weaverville Road Suite 108 in North Asheville.
The cost for the three-day workshop will be $825 which includes the material fee. There will be space for up to 4 participants in this workshop.
