July 28 – September 1
Fee: $395

Explore the rich and incredibly diverse possibilities of intaglio printing. This course aims to provide students with a mastery of basic intaglio techniques as well as an overview of historical and contemporary approaches to the medium. We will work through five fundamental intaglio processes: hard ground, soft ground, aquatint, sugarlift, and spitbite. While learning these fundamental techniques, we will develop two or three images on copper plates, with etching tools, and print on an intaglio press, as well as explore chine collé. The 6-week course is suited for beginners and also offers intermediate students deeper exploration of the medium.
