Come and learn how to etch a sketch and then print it yourself using recycled materials!
Drypoint etching is a technique that uses a needle or sharp tool to scratch a design on a surface.
You then use that surface to create prints using high quality inks and a portable printing press.
Once you finish this super fun class, you will walk away with your own, original print to adorn your walls or gift a friend!
No art experience required – just come and have a wonderful time!
