EmailCome along to a relaxed workshop where you can master some new skills. Learn how to print using a method called drypoint and get to grips with a printing press in this experience run at Creative Space on North Street in Bedminster.
In this workshop you will:
- Discover the basics of drypoint printing
- Use etching skills and a printing press
- Explore your creativity with a little professional help
- Take home your completed artwork with a smile
This experience is ideal for:
Beginners - it's a great workshop to introduce you to the world of drypoint! Intermediates- come along to try adding a collage layer, called chine colle, to the printing process & of course return to use the printing press for more of your own creations!
In drypoint printmaking, a design is drawn or scratched on a plate with a sharp needle-like instrument, inked up and run through a printing press- making each print truly one-of-a-kind. All materials, in addition to tea and coffee, will be provided for your evening of crafting to be complete.
If you are a student or on a low income, I offer one place per workshop at a reduced price. Please message me to discuss booking this option.
Treat yourself to some relaxing me-time and leave feeling revived. Just take it from these previous guests:
'I loved this workshop- full of inspiration' 'Thank you for your great workshop! It was fun and relaxing at the end of a long day - amazing!' 'I left feeling upbeat and happy and like I wanted to do more art!'

Kate was a wonderful, knowledgeable and thoughtful tutor. I learnt new ways of making Drypoint Prints, using recycled Tetrapak cartons, toothbrushes, pasta machines! Amazing! I am going to attend more of Kate’s workshops.

This taster course was excellent. Well explained and the tutor allowed the participants to be very creative and was encouraging. [To do with the venue (not the tutor - The venue Creative Space could do with investing in sturdier chairs...]

Loved using the back of an oat milk tetrapak for the plate.
Love that what you draw is what you print - just backwards of course
Loved the muscle power in using the mahoosive wheel on the printing press (think mangle on acid).
And of course I love my little print
Such a joy to be creative and learn from those who know what they're doing and clearly love it
