..so how is my printmaking going in the etching class?
This is my first ever, very small, etched zinc plate. (50mm x 60mm)
It has been bevelled, sanded, polished and covered with grounds.
The design has been etched into the grounds..and into the acid bath for 20 minutes.

This is the first simple print.
Now I'm deciding what will be light and what will be dark.
Shellac is painted on to protect light parts
and into the acid bath again at least twice more.
I wish you could see the prints that my classmates are producing. Inspiring I tell you!Shellac is painted on to protect light parts

Jeff is interested in the process, he said that it's completely different but at the same time similar to the process he uses to make printed circuit boards for electronics!
