Description

Ideal for photographs or hand-drawn images; this specialist course offers hands on experience of etching images into steel plates prepared with specialist photo-etch emulsion. Photo-etch emulsion offers an alternative to the photo-tech film often used by print-makers and is a wonderful way of creating plates, however a good understanding of the etching process will be of benefit.

On the course you will learn: To select appropriate images to use in the process. Prepare steel plates. Apply the emulsion. Expose and develop the plates. Etch with Copper Sulphate solution, print and incorporate a second colour with roll up (roll over) technique.

Your tutor : Clare Phelan

Clare Phelan is an artist/print-maker who works directly with the ancestors of our computer age. In the making of her distinctive abstract prints, she uses found objects of nineteenth and twentieth century coding technology, including textile jacquards, musical box discs and IBM punch cards. Narratives around Man and Machine inform her practice.  

Winner of the Scott Creative Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award 2019, Clare was also shortlisted for the London Contemporary Art Prize 2019 and the Flourish Award for Excellence in Printmaking 2017. She lives and works in the post industrial heartland of West Yorkshire, which provides constant inspiration for her work

Experience level

Intermediate level – perfect for those wishing to explore the creative possibilities of this process – a working knowledge of the etching process would be really useful.  

What’s included?

All course prices include basic materials such as inks, paper, tools and equipment. Other materials and printmaking papers will be available to buy during the course if you would like to try something a bit different, or take some materials home to try out.
