beautiful prints. You will be shown hand printing techniques and will also have the use of an etching press.

all have.You will be shown how to cut and draw into tetra pack containers and print amazing
colourful plates using the etching presses, etching needles and simple tools to create detailed fine

sewing into your material after the course. We will be using oil based water washable etching inks
