As we get ready to celebrate 100 years since the Bluecoat became an arts centre, be inspired by a century of creativity and create your own unique artwork using Drypoint Etching.

In this taster session, you'll be shown how to create a drypoint plate, how to etch your own design into the plastic surface, ink it up and print a small edition of unique artworks on our 90 year old etching press.

The Bluecoat became an arts centre in 1927, the first in the UK. Find out more here.
