Event Description
Discover the creative possibilities of advanced etching in this immersive 6-week Friday class designed for experienced and professional artists.
From the very first session, you’ll dive into the fundamentals—exploring traditional, safe etching methods using ferric chloride on copper plates. Each week features guided demonstrations that lead into hands-on experimentation, giving you the opportunity to expand on advanced techniques, including mezzotints, aquatints, and traditional oil-based inking. As you work, you’ll refine your technical mastery, explore complex processes, and develop a deeper understanding of etching as an expressive medium. By the end of the course, you’ll leave with sophisticated, original prints and the confidence to continue your advanced etching practice independently.
