Drypoint

In this course we will use Tetrapak packagaing and/or PET-G as the plate for our drypoint prints.

Utilizing everyday life materials is one of the main features of Alma Matter’s courses. Alongside the cost efficiency of using tetrapak as your intaglio plate, you can enjoy the smooth and easy incising process with an etching needle as your drawing your image on your plate.You can experiment with interchangeable modular plates by creating several small Tetrapak pieces, each etched with unique designs. These can be arranged in different ways during the printing process, allowing you to explore diverse patterns and configurations with the same set of elements.

PET-G is also relatively cheaper the other plate options for intaglio print.

In this course you will be encouraged to print without a printmaking press but using the press is also possible.
