About this Workshop:
Let’s get a bit inky while making miniature drypoint prints using Akua printmaking plates! Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique that allows you to essentially “draw” directly onto your plate using a sharp, needle-like tool—no grounds or acids required. Get ready to experiment and have fun creating your very own print using this traditional printmaking practice.
Level: Beginner – no previous experience required
Registration closes February 18, 2025 and includes all materials.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Etai Rogers-Fett is a printmaker, judaica artist, and arts educator living on Piscataway land in Maryland. Etai spends most of his time at the intersection of two very alive cultures that are often wrongfully assumed to be “dead” – print and Yiddish. He works as an artistic associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Hyattsville and teaches printmaking at several other local art centers, including Washington Printmakers Gallery. Working primarily in etching and woodcut printmaking methods, Etai weaves together archival research, storytelling and oral histories, decorative traditions from Jewish book arts, and speculative imagining. See more of Etai’s work on Instagram at @tsukunst.
“This class should be offered regularly. It was one of the better classes I have taken at Pyramid Atlantic.”
