Intaglio etching
one-day workshop

€160
Day fee includes materials and lunch
One Friday per month

This one-day* printmaking workshop offers you or a loved one a rare opportunity to dip into the rich and mysterious world of intaglio etching.
Relish in the pleasingly sticky sound of rolling ink against the light dappled glass, the rich smell of pigments, the texture of cotton paper, the satisfying turn and tinkling of the press wheel, and the joy of pulling your own print.
This day is all about slowing down, drawing creativity from within and exploring the tactile process of traditional printmaking in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Here at Atelier Citrina, we invite you to take a break from the world of technology and spend a day with like-minded souls, creating something beautiful with your hands.
By the end of this workshop, you will have created your own unique etching plate and produced a limited edition of intaglio prints to take home.
*Tea, fresh coffee, and a nourishing plant-based lunch included.

Children’s nature walk
and mono-printing

€45
One-off cost includes materials
Every third Saturday of the month

Join us for a unique and enriching workshop designed to spark creativity and connection with each other, our artist-selves and the natural world.
Our workshop begins with playful warm-ups, trust-building games, and exercises to enhance presence and attention. In pairs, participants will embark on a transformative journey starting with a nature walk, where they'll be invited to navigate visual and sensory experiences together through the practice of noticing and sharing what they discover.
Back in the Atelier Citrina print studio, we'll delve into the art of monoprinting. Participants will be encouraged–without constraints of right or wrong– to visually explore their responses to the sensorial world, resulting in beautiful creations reflective of their unique experiences. Finally, we'll gather to admire each other's prints, fostering a sense of community and appreciation.
The workshop concludes with a reflective circle, where participants can share their feelings and experiences in a supportive environment.
