This is a fun activity in Bollington, Stockport
In our busy lives, we rarely get the chance to slow down and take stock—but this 2.5-hour printmaking class offers exactly that.
Using drypoint, a versatile and tactile printmaking technique, we’ll explore small autobiographical sketches—snapshots of daily life, personal reflections, or little stories that matter to you. Drypoint is wonderfully responsive to your hand and allows for detailed, intricate marks, making it perfect for translating your thoughts and ideas into images.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn the basics of mark-making on drypoint plastic
- Explore inking and wiping techniques
- Pull your own prints on high-quality paper using our vintage etching press
Whether you approach it as a form of journaling, a reflective pause, or simply a creative experiment, this workshop is a chance to connect with your ideas and slow down—and a beautiful print to take home.
All Hope Press classes take place in our beautiful studio in Bollington, located in the historic Adelphi Mill. The studio is light, warm and comfortable, designed to be a calm and welcoming space to make art. It is fully equipped for printmaking, with a range of high-end equipment including etching presses and a screen-printing table. Tea and coffee-making facilities are available, with space to rest and take a breather whenever needed.
