Intro to Intaglio
Instructor: Christine Rucker
Sunday, May 25 at 1 p.m.
The intro to intaglio class will teach participants how to prepare copper plates for drypoint and printing it on special printmaking paper off of a tabletop press. Drypoint is engraving using a twisted steel needle point called a scribe. Participants will have enough time to pull about 3-5 prints off the printing press. Materials will be provided to make a 4”x6” drawing. Please bring a sketch or idea of a line drawing for single color prints.
Christine Rucker is an artist and social worker based in Virginia Beach, VA. She graduated from Pratt Institute in painting and art history, and Virginia Commonwealth University in clinical social work. As an artist, she works as a bookmaker, designer, and mixed media printmaker.
