Intaglio combines drawing and printmaking. If you like to draw, this is a very basic way to create an edition of prints from an aluminum plate. Intaglio (dry point) uses a simple hardened steel point to draw (scratch) into the surface of a plate. This results in grooves and burrs which capture the ink, creating the print on paper. Printing will be done both by hand and with a Takach etching press. Beginners and experienced artists are welcome.

This series of printmaking workshops, a collaboration between Sanctuary Arts and Roger Goldenberg, are held at Roger's Button Factory studio in Portsmouth.
