Course Description:
Intaglio is a blanket term for a number of different techniques; the commonality is that with intaglio, the image is incised into the surface of a metal plate, usually copper. The surface is then covered in ink and wiped clean except for the recessed areas which retain the ink. With dampened paper atop the plate, it’s run through a press under extraordinary pressure to transfer the inked image onto the paper.
This class will provide an overview of all the basic intaglio techniques including etching, aquatint, soft ground, drypoint, and engraving. Class time will be split between demonstrations, lectures, and hands-on, instructor-assisted work time.
