Print Adult 3A • Quick Print!: One-Day Acid-Free Etching with Drypoint • Beginner/All Level Intaglio Printmaking • WED (May 21) • MAIN
with Renate Mairie
Welcome to Quick Print! These one-time classes offer students a crash course in one specific type of print without the commitment of a multi-week course. Perfect for beginners, experimenters, or anyone looking for a fun way to learn a new skill fast!
Drypoint printmaking is a fascinating intaglio (incising a plate) technique where images are scratched into a plate with a hard-pointed needle or tool. The scratches create burrs (raised edges) that hold ink, making it easy to get started with printing your design. And don't worry, you don't have to be an expert at drawing - we have stacks of magazines you can trace images out of.
Drypoint is the perfect combination of precision, technique, and total creative freedom, offering endless possibilities for unique and expressive artwork. Enjoy the process, and let your creativity flow!

Print Adult 3B • Quick Print!: One-Day Tetra Pak Printmaking • Beginner/All Level Intaglio Printmaking • FRI (May 30) • MAIN
with No Instructor
Welcome to Quick Print! These one-time classes offer students a crash course in one specific type of print without the commitment of a multi-week class. Perfect for beginners, experimenters, or anyone looking for a fun way to learn a new skill fast!
Reduce, reuse, reimagine with Tetra Pak printmaking! Printmakers have a special kind of curiosity—the type that makes you look at an empty carton and think, "I bet I can print with that." That instinct to experiment and repurpose is exactly what led to Tetra Pak printmaking.
Tetra Paks are those familiar, lightweight cartons used for shelf-stable liquids like juice, milk, and broth—lined with a thin layer of aluminum to keep contents fresh. The aluminum layer takes ink surprisingly well, holding fine lines and details with precision. Scratch in your design, ink it up, and pull a print. Suddenly, that empty carton has become something entirely new.
It’s art with a sense of resourcefulness—proof that the most inspiring materials are sometimes the ones right under your nose. Come spend the evening experimenting with us!
