Sense of Place through drypoint printmaking
About
Enjoy a weekend-long Sense of Place etching and printmaking workshop with artist and printmaker Peta Lloyd at Monto Landcare. After an initial grounding exercise in the bushland setting, to gather inspiration for their images, participants will be guided through techniques of making images and marks by cutting and peeling away the surface of the plate (paper plate or Tetra Pak). Textured and smooth tape as well as carborundrum and gel mediums will also be applied to create further lines and textures. Peta will demonstrate techniques of inking up and printing dry point plates using an etching press. Techniques of *chine colle and **a la poupee will also be taught to add colour to prints.Finished works will be exhibited at the Monto Museum of Art.
***chine colle – two layered paper support which includes thin tissue and heavier paper
****a la poupee – several colours of ink are applied to a single printing plate to create a multi-colour impression in one print run
