Introduction to Etching Metal: Sandra Wolfe Christie

Etching enables you to create endless designs in metal using a chemical process, by selectively removing metal using salt/acids. In this Introduction to Etching Workshop, we’ll explore numerous techniques to apply your designs and artwork to brass and copper sheet to be etched. We will review methods of creating your design directly on the metal as well as methods for transferring designs. Using a salt-based etching solution makes etching a healthier process then it historically has been.
