This class will be an introduction to intaglio printing, or etching. Students will learn drypoint, hardground, and soft ground etching techniques, as well as the proper way to ink and print intaglio plates. They will leave class with at least two sets of intaglio prints and the knowledge of how to operate and print on an etching press. The first three weeks will be an introduction to these techniques, and the last three will be used to make individual projects that display the skills learned.
