Monotype & Drypoint Workshop with Fiona Fouhy

Saturday, February 4th, from 10am - 4:30pm

In this workshop we will be combining monoprinting with Drypoint. Drypoint is a technique in which a plate surface (metal, perspex or board) is directly scratched with a sharp tool to produce an incised (intaglio) line. The plate can then be printed using the same technique as etching. Due to the burr that is raised in the scratching of the surface, the printed line has a softer quality than an etched line. We will explore the possibilities of combining drypoint and monoprint, since both techniques offer similar ways of working intuitively, directly and with speed. Whether you are a complete beginner to printmaking, a Lino cutter or even an Etcher, this course will bring a new dynamic to your skill set. All materials will be provided. By the end of the day you will have created a varied collection of unique prints. This class is open to people who have not done a workshop with Fiona before.

**If you sign up for this course and the Intro to Monotype course on January 28th, you can get £5 off both courses. To take us up on that option, please contact Marcia directly at [email protected] rather than signing up here.**

The class is limited to 6 students, therefore a great deal of individual attention is given. The class takes place in a bright and welcoming studio in Stoke Newington, just south of Clissold Park on a residential street (access up two flights of stairs). We will break for an hour for lunch from 1:00-2:00pm. Tea and biscuits provided!

Street parking is free on Sundays (apart from Arsenal match days). You can purchase parking passes from the host for £5 day on match days.
