July 23-25, 2026: Drypoint & Watercolor Workshop with Pam Beagle-Daresta

$525.00

Drypoint & Watercolor
3-Day Workshop with Guest Artist, Pam Beagle-Daresta
July 23-25, 2026 | 10:00am – 4:00pm
$45-65 Materials Fee with lunch provided.

We’re excited to welcome Pam Beagle-Daresta to Print House for a three-day workshop exploring the expressive possibilities of combining drypoint printmaking and watercolor painting. Working with nontoxic, contemporary materials, participants will discover how the spontaneity and translucency of watercolor can beautifully enhance the intricate marks and textures of drypoint prints.

This workshop offers a playful, process-based approach that encourages experimentation and the blending of mediums. You’ll begin with a brief introductory exercise before creating a printing plate from your own imagery. Steps include engraving a contemporary plastic plate, editing and inking your plate with Akua inks, and pulling prints on watercolor and printmaking papers, including some of Pam’s handmade paper. Participants will then integrate watercolor, using Daniel Smith paints to build layered, luminous works.

Expect to:

  • Learn step-by-step drypoint techniques using contemporary materials

  • Explore ways to combine watercolor and print for expressive results

  • Experiment with color, mark-making, and layering

  • Work from your own drawings and imagery

  • Leave with finished prints and new ideas for expanding your mixed-media practice

Students are encouraged to bring a sketchbook and your favorite drawing tools. Please create some drawings (8×6 or 8×10 inch working size) prior to the workshop that you are interested in developing into your printing plate image. Feel free to bring any watercolor or brushes you prefer if you already work in watercolor. But all materials are included in the materials fee.
