I design and make drypoint prints using a recycled juice carton, hand coloured with drawing ink. I cover all the steps for making and printing a drypoint print using intaglio methods. Scroll down to find a materials list and links to timecodes.

2020? 2020?! Well done, me? I clearly haven’t wrapped my head around what year it is anymore yet. Lol. If you want to take part in the Art Telephone Challenge, it’s happening this year. In 2021. You’ve got four weeks as of the timing of this comment to get your entries in! www.crumpart.net/art-telephone-challenge

Lovely! Have you tried using a pasta machine in place of the traditional press?

I’m an art student from Mexico and this video helped me a lot!! Thank you! I have a question, if I want to use regular cardboard, what can I use to seal the plate?

@SpinesAndSplines 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Fer, you can use the same things to seal regular cardboard. Cheers.

Hi, there. Would you be able to use a thin piece of cardboard like a cereal box?

@SpinesAndSplines 8 ай бұрын

Hi Gaby, you can try whatever you like! The handy thing about juice/milk containers is that they already have a coating on them, which makes them easier to wipe and helps protect them from ink and liquid. If you wanted to use an uncoated piece of cardboard (like a cereal box), you’d likely need to coat it with a glue or varnish first so that it lasts longer before falling apart.

What kind of glue would you recommend?

@@GabyGibson I'd use a basic PVA or wood glue.

Lovely stuff. Thank you, but could you have text of the main points written on the video for the hard of hearing? Your voice is a little hard for me to hear and fast.

Hi Viano, thanks for the comment. I try and avoid putting text over the video because it can obscure and distract what’s happening in the demonstration. Luckily the KZfaq captioning system is pretty good. You can turn this on by clicking the “CC” button on the video. This one is still currently using the auto-generated transcript, which is pretty accurate, but I’m in the process of going through and cleaning up the auto-generated English Closed Caption files. While I do sometimes overlay text on the video before uploading, I prefer the closed-caption system as not all my viewers speak English, and this way people can choose to turn the captions on or off.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the felts to be dark?? What's the reason they are so white? Just some old tradition?

@SpinesAndSplines 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment, There’s a few reasons that printing blankets are white. They’re made from undyed wool, because you don’t want to risk any dye transferring in the printing process, and the sheep that the wool comes from are white. Along the same lines, white wool sheep are much more common than dark wool sheep because their wool can be dyed, so white wool is less of a niche market and less expensive. People also most often print on white paper, so small amounts of fibre transfer from the blanket onto the paper won’t be visible. You can also see more easily if your blankets are dirty and need to be cleaned before spending a lot of time printing a big edition.
