Expert printmakers will be on hand to guide you through the process, sharing their knowledge and expertise.
Etching
Etching is a printmaking technique that involves incising a design onto a metal plate using an acid bath. This process creates intricate and detailed lines, resulting in unique prints with a distinctive quality.
Lithography
Lithography is a planographic printmaking method that uses the immiscibility of oil and water. By drawing or painting on a smooth surface, such as limestone or metal, artists create images that can be reproduced in multiples.
Screen Printing
Screen printing, also known as silk screening, utilizes a mesh screen and stencil to transfer ink onto a substrate. This versatile technique allows for bold and vibrant prints on various materials, from paper to fabric and beyond.
Relief Printing
Relief printing involves carving away areas from a block of material, such as wood or linoleum, leaving the raised areas to be inked and printed. This traditional technique produces bold and striking prints with a textured surface.
