Course program
This course will cover all the basics of hard and soft ground etching using copper, zinc and steel plates and etching with ferric chloride and copper sulphate solutions, both less-toxic alternatives to traditional nitric acid. This is a great course for beginners and those who need a refresher. You will learn the basics of intaglio printmaking such as how to prepare, etch and print a metal plate, with a hands-on approach, as well as inking and registration techniques. Kathryn Desforges is a practising artist who specialises in printmaking, and is also technician at WYPW.
