About this Event
Etching is an Intaglio printmaking technique, whereby removing fine lines from the surface of a printing plate creates a design. Metal and corrosive chemicals are commonly used for this process but in this version you will be taught to etch using common household items!
What you will do…
During this workshop you will learn the processes of designing, etching and printing your own design to take home with you. Etching is a great way to transform and repeat illustrative designs and sketches as well as play with abstract shape and texture.
