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 January 13, 2026 and includes all materials.

“This class should be offered regularly. It was one of the better classes I have taken at Pyramid Atlantic.”
