Information: This 2 day etching workshop at Ironbridge studios gives you the studio space and 2 days to create an etching. With the help pf an expert printmaker you will be guided
through the process that takes your piece of artwork from paper to metal. Once the etching plate has been made the printing can begin, you will be shown lots of different ways to print both traditional and contemporary in colour and traditional monochrome. The combination of using an excellent printing press, inks, paper and a well made plate will give you excellent prints.
