About Drypoint Prints=0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
Traditionally made by scribing lines into a metal plate such as copper with a hard metal or diamond point tool, drypoint prints are now also made by drawing on plastic plates with less expensive tools, and printed with non toxic, water 'clean-up' inks.=0D=0A=
In this one day workshop you will draw (or trace since the plate is transparent) your design directly into the plastic plate with a sharp pointed tool to create ‘grooves’.  Ink is then applied to the plate making sure the grooves are filled. The top surface of the plate is wiped clean and the design can then be transfered to dampened paper using an etching press. You have created an original drypoint print that can be editioned in the traditional way (inking, wiping and printing again to make more prints of the same image). =0D=0A=

About Monotype Plates=0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
A monotype is a print made by applying ink to the surface of a plate and transferring the image to paper. Once you have made your drypoint print, transparent colours can be added using the monotype technique. In this way, you can create an edition of colourful, unique monoprints. (A monoprint is a printed image that has at least one repeatable element.)
