Beginner ETCHING course. All classes for 18+ unless arranged through the office and the tutor first.

What to bring:

An apron or old shirt – an apron with a pouch or pocket is handy to put gloves, rag, and mull cloth in.

Visual material – drawings, photos, photocopies, magazine/newspaper clippings etc….

Note book or visual diary (preferably A4) – this is to glue in hand out sheets from class, make your own notes, record processes and ideas.

Drawing materials including – soft pencils, ballpoint pen, permanent marker pen, eraser, ruler.

Paint brushes – you will need a range of brushes from very fine “000, 1, 2, 5 round, and a 1/2″ and 1” flat brush.

Soft toothbrushes – (used is fine) these are to clean shellac and ink out of the fine etched lines.

Soft rags – any cotton rags are great, old T-shirt’s, old sheets or pillow cases cut up.

A box or bag – to keep your printmaking things all together, I use a shopping basket with a handle.
