Course description
Course Description
This is an advanced printmaking course for those who already have some etching experience. Photographs, photomontages, drawings and collages are just some of the imagery that can be developed into a photoetching. Your images can and will change through the process - photoetching is not just about replicating an image but taking it a stage further and allowing the nature of the process to play a role in the development of the image. You will be encouraged to develop your images with other etching processes such as hard or soft ground.
