This is a post about the induction to printmaking and especially: drypoint, etching, and linocut.
The instructor for the course introduced us to the press and the machine we would use to create or print. They show us different techniques, the presses, and the inking process. Some of these presses are older than 50 years old.
The instructor gave us material to work with so we could create and print our work the next day. I stayed true to myself and drew two monsters.
The next day, we inked our work and printed it.
Tada ! I tried different inking, and one of the print is what is called a ghost print (when you print a design one last time time without adding ink).
This last picture is the result of all the lino cuts of my group printed together.
