Introduction to Copper Plate Etching (13 Jun 2026)

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Introduction to Copper Plate Etching

taught by Colleen Cox

In this class, you will learn about working with a copper plate to translate your drawings into a printable matrix. Etching is a printmaking technique where an image is created by incising into a plate. The ink is held in the recessed areas of the plate by carding on ink and wiping off the excess.

You will be guided through the whole etching process, from polishing your plate, and etching your final design in the acid bath. Then you'll learn the whole printing process including, how to use an etching press, inking and wiping your plate, and dampening and drying your paper. You will leave with a few prints of your image!

As part of multi-session printmaking classes, you have open access to the printmaking studio outside of class hours, for the duration of your class!

No experience necessary! All levels are welcome.

All materials and tools will be provided for the class.
