Copper plate etching

The finest details can be seen using copper plate etching. It is a technique which requires a good understanding of printmaking to achieve optimum results. Students will be taken through processes to etch into the copper, ink it (using intaglio process) and then print on archival paper using the studio etching press. Copper plate is the hardiest material and can be used to produce 100+ prints from the one plate.

Dry point etching
