About this event

Alternative Etching - two day course

Tutor: Brian Barry

This courses explores an experimental etching process, which uses saline sulphate mordant. Saline sulphate mordant has been introduced into print studios in recent years as a safe alternative to the traditional nitric acid etching.

The course introduces the equipment needed for saline sulphate etching and how to set it up and use the techniques safely. Participants learn how to set up their work space, use tools and techniques for creative plate making, prepare materials and ink, and print multiple prints. Participants finish the course having created a series of prints.
