Concept

Translate your detailed drawings and expressive abstract marks into prints using the versatile and easy-to-grasp method of drypoint printmaking. In this process, scratch a drawing into a plexiglass plate with a sharp needle. The resulting incised lines trap and hold ink after the plate is wiped clean. This creates a soft, heavy line unique to this type of intaglio printmaking.

Experience

With Don as your guide, learn how to create an image and produce different marks, mix ink, prepare paper, and run your plate through the press to transfer your image to dampened paper. Come prepared to print several images and elaborate on one plate.

Skill Level

All levels of experience with printmaking are welcome. Some prior drawing experience is helpful.

INSTRUCTOR

Don Krumpos started making art by cobbling impossible machines and formidable forts on his father’s century farm. Today his work combines his world of narratives with material culture of old and new, sprinkled with contemporary absurdities. Don’s primary goal is to diminish the barrier to art by making techniques accessible and helping students creatively problem solve technical and conceptual concerns. When not in the studio, Don is off on adventures with his wife and son. Don co-owns Yonder, a gallery and studio space in Algoma, WI.
