Introduction to Copper Etching (March 29 & 30)

Two Day Workshop 

Canadian printmaker Henry Jackson updates the 500-year-old artistic tradition by using non toxic materials in this intensive 2-day workshop. We will learn to create fine line etchings like those of Dürer, Rembrandt, Manet and Degas along with an easy to use acquaint that can give you shadowing like a Goya. 

In this workshop, students will learn to prepare copper plates, coat them with hardground, etch them in acid and print them. Etching is an excellent medium for anyone with a drawing background who would like to expand their tool set. This workshop is open to those who are just beginning, or to those who are interested in learning new non-toxic methods of etching. Please have a couple of images that you would like to reproduce as an etching.
