Printmaking Mini Series: Introduction to Softground Etching
- Date: August 7, 2025
- Time: 05:00 PM - 08:00 PM
- Location: Waterfall Arts, Belfast

In this two-part workshop, participants will learn the basics of using waxy, soft coatings on copper plates to create textural and dynamic images that don’t rely on line drawing (like in hardground etching). This one’s a perfect companion to our hardground etching workshop! Class meets on 2 Thursdays, August 7 and 14.
*This summer, we’re offering a series of workshops designed to give students the freedom to take only one or string together a few workshops to build an equivalent to our Printmaking I class. Our workshop series will introduce students to printmaking equipment including how to use oil and water-based inks, proper paper preparation, and how to make prints by hand and with presses. You’ll work with a variety of instructors for each method to get a feel for different approaches and techniques.
Anyone enrolled in a printmaking workshop or class is eligible for a reduced rate for Community Print hours – offered once per week on Fridays – for the duration of the workshop/class. These spots can be purchased along with your class fee.
