About This Event

RC Studio brings its beginner-friendly drypoint printmaking workshop to Deli Lama, the independent café and refill shop at Islington Mill in Salford, for a relaxed Sunday afternoon session. Over two hours, guests transfer a drawing onto a small plate made from recycled Tetra Pak, scratch the image with drypoint tools, then ink, wipe and print it through a pasta machine used as a press. No experience is needed, and reference images are provided for anyone who would rather not draw from scratch. Each guest leaves with their own drypoint plate and two original mini-prints on Fabriano paper, presented in a protective folder with acid-free sleeves. All tools and materials are included, and every guest has a prepared workstation with step-by-step guidance throughout. The workshop is led by Ruggero Chiminazzo, a Venice-trained architect and artist based at Islington Mill. Places are limited to ten, making it a sociable, unhurried session suited to adults and older teenagers, whether coming alone, with a friend or as a small group. Booking is through ClassBento, where gift vouchers are also available.
