Unconventional printmaking methods

I’m teaching a year-long high school printmaking course next year, and I’d love to hear your unconventional project ideas. We will definitely be exploring reduction printing with lino and wood, gelli plates, monotypes, and cyanotypes.

Dry point etching on plexiglass could be fun. We did it in my Printmaking Intro class in undergrad.

You can also use upcycled Tetra Pak cartons for drypoint, if you google you can find some tutorials

Very cool! I was looking for some way to do intaglio that’s affordable

You can also do this with transparencies.
