Even beginners can learn to create "etching-like" prints quickly and easily using tools and materials you already have at home! Explore drypoint intaglio printmaking using recycled Tetra Pak cartons as an affordable and eco-friendly plate material. We'll practice cross-hatching and incising textures using drypoint tools, corkscrews, dental tools, and exacto knives. Instead of etching ink, we'll use water soluble "Stabilo Woody" colored pencils. After "inking," prepare your plate using Q-tips to increase contrast, and pull prints using rolling pins or hand-burnishing. Emphasis on sustainable practice, mark-making, and experimental approaches to tone, pattern, and layering.

All supplies are provided, and step-by-step guidance will ensure everyone leaves with three finished plates in this two hour class. We'll have enough 300gsm 100% cotton paper for each student to make two prints from each plate in class, and you'll leave knowing how to make more prints at home. Images for tracing will be provided, but feel free to bring your own! Plates will be 2x3 inches and 4x5 inches. Print your images in reverse, especially words, as our prints will be the reverse from what we scratch into the plate.


This class will take place at Swoon City. Our address is 1716 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA 98107. It's at the intersection of 17th and NW Market Street - kitty corner from Mighty-O Donuts.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class begins. 

If you cannot attend class for any reason, we will offer an exchange to another class currently on our schedule up to 48 hours before the class. After that time, no refunds or exchanges are issued out of respect for our teachers who purchase and prepare supplies based on the number of attendees.

Our current masking protocol is that anyone attending an event can email us at [email protected] to let us know they prefer that people wear masks up to 72 hours before the event begins. Your request is anonymous to all the other participants.

Attendees will receive an email before the class to let them know If we will be requiring masks.

About the Instructor

Hello, I’m Sara M. Hospador. I’ve been a Ballard resident since 1994, and I’m genuinely excited to connect with other creative people in the community and spend time making art together. I’m endlessly curious about new ways to be creative, especially when a medium blends art with a little science and history. Those intersections - where technique, experimentation, and curiosity meet - are what draw me in and keep me inspired.

I have a deep passion for color, pattern, and personal expression, along with a well-documented love of art supplies. For me, the joy of making art is as much about the process as it is about the finished piece. Water marbling, in particular, invites play, patience, and surprise, and I love sharing a technique that rewards both intention and letting go.  

When I teach water marbling, my goal is to create a welcoming, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable experimenting. In previous classes, I’ve had students tell me at the start that they planned to simply observe and learn. Before long, they were fully engaged - confident in the process, taking creative risks, and having fun. By the end of class, those same students left with beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces and a sense of accomplishment they didn’t expect.

I believe creativity should be accessible, joyful, and a little messy. I’m excited to guide students through this meditative and playful art form and to help them discover what’s possible when curiosity leads the way.

Ruined prom for my senior
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Bright Purple
• The seller's failure to cancel an order, despite promising to do so, resulted in the buyer ordering a replacement item and incurring extra costs. • Poor communication and unhelpful customer service from Amazon led to significant frustration and disappointment, impacting multiple important events. • The buyer will no longer use Amazon. Awful material EXTREMELY WRINKLED ill fitting. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR SANITY!!! DONT RECOMMENDED EVER!!!!

Booted & Suited
Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small
This is my 3rd son & my last to do the "prom" thing. Usually we go on a popular store chain website where you usually have to buy everything ala individually. Here I could get everything I need, 3 piece suit, button up shirt,black velvet loafers, and a wrist corsage for her & a Boutonniere for him all here on Amazon with money to spare. The suit needed a little steaming and we did have his pants hemmed we listened to the other ppl on here & realized this obviously runs very large so we reluctantly ordered a small when he usually wears a Men's medium. We were very happy because the fit looks tailor made to me so size down. If you're on the way more slender side get a XS. This runs very large my son is 5"11 and works out consistently & is approximately 155-160 lbs. The material was wonderful Nice not some weird material what you would expect for a suit/tux .I love the satin lined lapel that added some extra flair...we opted to wear a thick chain instead of the bow tie that it did come with a lot of ppl said they didn't get one, well we did. Everything in the pic on my son came from Amazon (except his Girlfriend's dress) even his unique Boutonniere & her corsage that are made from faux flowers to keep forever. I love this suit, this price, and most of all the quality you might as well just buy it because renting it is about the same price & this one you get to keep!

Decent Slim Fit Tux
Color: Midnight Black, Size: Large
This will work. In ordering the tux I don't recall seeing the set advertised as slim fit but it definitely is. My husband is 6'2" and 185 lbs. and is a runner. This suit just fits. The pants are thankfully long enough (he wears a 34/34) and the vest fits well however there doesn't seem to be an inch to spare in the jacket. He says it feels fine on, doesn't feel too snug, so that's all that matters. He needed a tux for a black tie wedding we'll be attending next month and this will fit the bill at a good price for something he'll likely never wear again. Note: the Suit comes folded up in a plastic bag and will need to be pressed before wearing.

Can’t believe it was this cheap! Looked just like the suits friends were paying hundreds of $ for to not even buy but to rent. Would definitely recommend buying from here!
