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

I have played at Birnam Arts as part of Blow and Blast for a number of years and never cease to be amazed by how many activities take place there - too valuable to lose!

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!
A wonderful local facility, always welcoming and friendly. Me and my girls have so many happy memories of ballet classes and shows here - we need to keep the magic going!

We really enjoy visiting the Arts Centre when we are walking in the Birnam area, and our family loved the Puppet show at Christmas.
