Recognizing and Using Printmaking Processes: Etching, Drypoint and Embossing
Inspired by prints in the exhibition Fantasy, Myth, Legend, this workshop will introduce participants to three different printmaking processes. Participants will become familiar with identifying, teaching from, and creating zinc etching, drypoint, and embossing. This workshop will also demonstrate ways to bring these printmaking processes and conversations into K-12 classroom settings.
