| Etching |
| Introduction to Etching | |
Etching as a process was developed as a quicker, looser, less labour intensive alternative to engraving. An image could be drawn through a wax ground, and the corrosive action of acid used to etch the lines into the metal plates. Working on your own zinc plates participants can experiment with etchings using line on both hard ground and soft ground plates and adding tone using aquatint techniques. These plates will then be etched, inked up and printed by the participants. Participants will leave with both the plates and prints created during the course. 2 Day Course - 10.30am - 5.30pm Tuesday & Wednesday - 15th & 16th May 2012 NOW BOOKING!

Letterpress is a term for the relief printing of text and image using a 'type high' printing press, in which a reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed in to a sheet of paper to obtain an image. This one day course will introduce the process of letterpress and allow beginners the chance to print on a working Vandercook cylinder press. Our course focuses on using photopolymer plates, on which digital artwork can be exposed and then printed using the Vandercook press.
