Intaglio printmaking is the process of inscribing into the surface of a plate to create a space for the ink to go essentially. It is the opposite of relief printing whereby the ink is applied to the surface of the plate as the areas that have been scribed into plate remain ink free.ย
A few intaglio techniques are engraving, etching, drypoint, aquatint and mezzotint. Usually the design is scribed into a copper, zinc and aluminium. magnesium, plastics or even coated paper. You can be very experimental with this printmaking technique, as various intaglio techniques can produce a wide range of effects.ย There are 2 main ways of making intaglio prints. The first involves applying ink to a single plate, the second is when multiple plates are used to create the one image.ย In this video, Clinton will take you through 4 intaglio techniques, filmed at Seacourt Print Workshop.ย
If you enjoyed this workshop, please give our video aย โค๏ธ andย share your results with us either via email or social media using the #seacourtprints and tagging us in your posts @seacourtprints.ย

Seacourt Print Workshop is moving again, for what will hopefully be the last time. We have been busy packing up our workshop, uncovering lots of historic artefacts and reminiscing about how far Seacourt has come over the past 40 years.
