Lisaks õpime teoorias nii kujunduste ettevalmistamise kohta kui üldiselt selle tehnika võimalustest ja piirangutest. Tegemist on pigem praktilise koolitusega. Koolitus ei vaja erialast eelnevaid teadmisi või erilisi isikuomadusi.

Layered Drypoint
9.11 (4h)
Conducted by: Marilyn Piirsalu
Drypoint is a playful intaglio printing technique, in which the image is scratched onto the printing plate using different blades. It is also easy to print the printed circuit board in layers. A metal or plastic plate with a special shape is covered with paint in such a way that the excess paint is wiped off the plate after the scratched grooves are filled. By swiping the plate, you can play with different colors and shades, which gives the line additional emotion and depth.
Price: 45€/*35€
