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.

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.

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.

Great Skin Conditioner
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered the unscented, and it is truly unscented. It is solid, but by rubbing you finger around the top of the tallow, it immediately begins softening and melting. I used too much the first time, as it leaves a sticky/tacky film on the skin, so as the instructions say, a little goes a long way. Even though the next time I was careful to use very little, I do think it leaves a little tacky and greasy feeling, but it does soften and protect the skin. My only complaint is that due to the size of the jar, and if you have long fingernails, you can't just rub your finger on top of the tallow without getting it all under your fingernails. I'd like the jar to be changed to a short wide mouth vessel, hence only a 4 star rating.

Excellent ingredients and product!!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I rarely do reviews, but I am extremely impressed with this product and company. First it comes in beautiful packaging, the ingredients are pure, great, and so healthy! The price is good, and there isn’t any rancid smell which has been an issues with other similar products I’ve bought. I specifically bought the unscented to make sure it didn’t smell rancid, and it doesn’t. If I had one criticism it’s that there isn’t a phone number for contact just the website. I’m elderly, so I prefer to talk with someone. But, after I just experienced 2 bad experiences with similar products that I had to return, I so happy that I ordered this one. And, I’m so impressed that I’m going to order more now! 😁 Thanks 🙏 Terra Lotus for providing us with a great 👍 product!! Bambi Forester

Worked well with us!
Scent: Citrus, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been trying different products for my daughter’s eczema-prone skin. Her skin was getting really dry, irritated, and rough in certain spots, and this balm has been super moisturizing and soothing. I love that it’s made with simple, natural ingredients and doesn’t feel harsh on her sensitive skin. A little goes a long way, and we’ve noticed her skin staying softer and less irritated after using it consistently. Definitely one of the better products we’ve tried lately 💛

Natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP).
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The most pleasant surprise about this tallow balm is that it’s a very effective natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP). It’s intense moisturizing properties help smooth the "chicken skin" bumps and reduce redness. It’s a natural alternative to conventional lotions by nourishing the skin barrier without harsh chemicals. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the skin texture on the back of my upper arms after rubbing it in. My skin looks and feels much improved when I use it and hopefully will continue to improve over time with continuall use! If you have not found an all natural product to help smooth and reduce KP bumps give this tallow balm a try!
