Etching Weekend Course


Etching Weekend Courses provide the perfect introduction to etching, introducing innovative techniques that encourage spontaneous and diverse methods of mark-making.

They take place Saturday-Sunday on the following dates:

9&10 November 2024

18&19 January 2025

15&16 March 2025

14&15 June 2025

27&28 September 2025

22&23 November 2025

Work directly onto metal plates, developing images through various hand-applied techniques. Using new, safer acid resists makes etching a much healthier process, using neither dangerous acids nor solvents.

During the course participants will work on two etching plates, one copper and one zinc, introducing them to both of the metals and the mordants most commonly used at Edinburgh Printmakers. Participants will produce two images over the course (one on each metal) making use of a combination of techniques in each plate. The size of the plates will be 152 x 203mm (6 X 8 inches)

A 15% Early Bird discount is available for bookings made 1 month prior to the start date! This course also entitles you to a FREE 3-month Associate Membership to use the studio and consolidate your skills.
