Welcome to an exclusive Drypoint course at Dekkle, where intaglio specialist David Borrington personally guides you through pushing the boundaries of this captivating printmaking technique. David’s dedication to the art shines through as he empowers you to maximize the three hours we spend together. To make the most of your time, we provide you with plates in advance, granting you the opportunity to draw at home. This thoughtful approach allows you to focus on printing and further developing your plates in the studio, enhancing the techniques applied to your final prints.

Feel free to drop by for a coffee and chat with David before the course—a small but essential part of our service to ensure you’re comfortable and well-prepared. In this intimate setting with a maximum of four students, you’ll explore various metals and plastics, gaining insights into the unique qualities of each substrate. The small group size guarantees personalized attention, enabling you to collaborate closely with David in refining your drawings and achieving the best possible results. The transformative power of dedicated time with a specialist is truly remarkable.
