Carborundum and Dry Point Printmaking Workshop with Dawn Brooks

FERENS ART GALLERY, Queen Victoria Square, Hull, HU1 3RA

13 Sep 2025

10:00AM

£65

|

Starting with a gallery tour, looking at key artworks we’ll explore texture, line and form to inspire our own prints.

We’ll then experiment with Carborundum, a versatile technique that creates rich tones and textures with painterly and graphic effects, including an embossing-like impression.

We will also explore dry point, a simple, direct intaglio process where lines are scratched into a plate, holding ink to produce soft, velvety marks.

This technique allows for spontaneous, expressive mark-making without chemicals, resulting in rich, textured prints.

All resources are provided
