Class Description

Description

This 4-week introductory course will familiarize students with etching, aquatint, and drypoint printing techniques. Students will learn to prepare their own copper plate for etching, and will feel comfortable in choosing intaglio techniques suitable to their artistic styles. Hard and soft ground etching will be covered in depth, as well as using a rosin box for aquatint, and printing an edition of etchings. By the end of the course students will be able to print confidently on an etching press, and leave the course with a firm foundation in intaglio.
