Etchings are made from
metal plates, usually zinc or copper, that have been corroded by the
action of acid to form indentations on the plate. Various types of
resist are used to control where the acid "bites" giving lines, tones
and painterly marks. The indentations are filled with ink each time a
print is made onto paper through a hand-operated etching press.
Traditionally, etching has been quite toxic with acid and solvent fumes
but at Horsley Printmakers we follow a non-toxic methodology pioneered
by Keith Howard, Friedhard Kiekeben and Alfons Bytautas. |
