An Introduction to Drypoint Printmaking Workshop with Hetty Haxworth
Create a series of prints in this hands-on introduction to Drypoint Printmaking.
No prior experience is needed - beginners are very welcome.
Drypoint printing is an intaglio technique where a design is scratched onto a plastic plate using a sharp tool. The plate is then covered with ink and wiped off with a cloth, leaving the ink only in the incised lines. Damp paper is placed over the plate and it is put through a printing press, creating an embossed print with a soft velvety quality.
Join Hetty for an exploration of Drypoint printmaking, where you will:
- Learn about Hetty's creative practice through examples of her work
- Be introduced to the printmaking process, tools, and health & safety
- Be guided through this etching technique with your design into a perspex plate
During the workshop, you'll also have the opportunity to:
- Use a tabletop printers press
- Experiment with test prints
- Leave with one or several finished prints
There will be a refreshment break halfway through the session.
What we will provide:
- All materials
- Aprons
- Reference images
What participants need to bring:
Any reference images or inspiration you would find helpful
Time: 5th December - 10.00am - 16:00
Location: Visual Arts Room
Age: 16+ only

We’ve always enjoyed Birnam Arts and all it has to offer - lovely venue, library and classes and a great friendly cafe.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
I have enjoyed taking part in events such as Scots Opera before we came to live in the area. Since then we have enjoyed both attending events and the splendid cafe In the foyer. It is a brilliant example of a local/regional community arts initiative and must not be allowed to falter.

Birnam Arts has been host to great memories and moments, from dancing my heart out at weddings to speaking at conferences to enjoying wonderful music ... this place does it all and is an important hub. We look forward to the time we can enjoy BA to its full once again.
