This workshop will guide students through the process of Drypoint Plexi printing. Drypoint is a printmaking process in which a design is drawn on a plate with a sharp, pointed needle-like instrument. Drypoint Plexiglass (Plexi) is a thin bendy plastic that is designed specifically for drypoint. The needle is used to incise lines directly into the bare plastic printing plate, displacing ridges of plastic that adhere to the edges of the incised lines.
