SUMMER ETCHING COURSES AT MILL STREET ETCHING STUDIO ON JULY 30/31st & AUGUST 26/27th 2023

The next Course/Workshop on the July 30/31st 2023 by Catherine Greenwood will be exploring new ways of using Sugar Lift, Aquatint, Soft Ground Techniques and bringing colour into your prints using the wonderful array of Cranfield and Charbonel etching inks and the following workshop on August 26/27th 2023 by David Stubbs will focus on the production of colour prints, using multi-plate etching and/or collagraphy.

Multi-plate colour etching uses separate plates to carry each colour. These plates are produced and printed in registration so that where colours overlay a full spectrum can be created.
