Learn the basics of intaglio printmaking in this four-session course led by expert printmaker Samuel Havens. Derived from the Italian intagliare (“to engrave” or “carve into”), intaglio is the generic term for recessed printing techniques in which the sunken lines or marks hold ink. Throughout four sessions, participants will be guided through the process of developing and printing an intaglio work, covering techniques that include drypoint, line-etch, aquatint, and electro-etching. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of press operation, determining how to set pressure, perform basic maintenance, and more. No prior knowledge of printmaking is required, however, this will be an intense course and participants should come prepared to learn, take notes, and be ready to follow specific instructions.

A materials kit with a scraper, burnisher, scribe, copper plate, and a paintbrush will be included in the cost of admission and can be taken home following the workshop. All other necessary equipment and supplies will provided for the duration of the course. A variety of reference books will also be made available. No additional materials are required.

 Class size is limited to six to ensure an optimal participant-to-instructor ratio.
