Suitable for both beginners and experienced print makers. No experience required.
Come and explore the wonderful world of copper plate etching and gain a thorough understanding of this exciting, safe and accessible medium over two days. During the workshop we will explore various techniques and processes and work with both linear and tonal effects on our plates (including aquatint). Students will develop a series of prints in their own style drawn from their own imagery.
Angus is currently a lecturer in printmaking at The National Art School in Sydney. He specialises in etching and enjoys the unique results the medium provides as well as its direct connection to historical contexts and traditions. Angus is represented by ‘Australian Galleries’ in Sydney and Melbourne.
