Etching the Figure

3-day workshop with a Live Model

Workshop Description: Take the immediacy of working from the figure, and combine it with the complexity of etching, to create an editionable print. In this three-session course, we will work from the model and then take the plate even further, using different intaglio techniques and methods, to make images that have both spontaneity and depth. Some consideration may be given to combining different media to achieve even greater interest.
