Atelier de gravure de Chamonix
We use non-toxic etching to protect artists and the environment. Wherever possible, we offer an alternative to traditional techniques. We use safe etching processes. For linocut and xylography, we have developed several models of safety plates. We print with water-based inks on acid-free "pure rag" paper.
We offer intaglio and relief engraving courses. If you'd like to practice etching to create art pieces, prints or monotypes, our workshop is open to you.
We welcome you in this privileged space to create, and discover or perfect printmaking practices.
The techniques on the printmaking courses program are varied: drypoint, etching, aquatint, sugar etching, soft varnish, textured printing, gravo-foam, wood and linoleum engraving...
The workshop is equipped with a large-format "Louis-Richebé" press (80 x 120 cm) for zinc, copper and linoleum, and a letterpress proofing press for wood, monotypes and MDF (medium).
We have extensive experience in teaching printmaking techniques to adults, teenagers and young children.
