Aluminium Etching with Lizzie Horne

Create your own etching!

Aluminium etching with copper sulphate is all about creating beautiful tonal contrasts as well as line. No experience is necessary for this class as you will be guided all the way. Printmakers who have worked with acids and aquatints will especially appreciate the simplicity of this method. No etching process is completely non-toxic, but etching aluminium with copper sulphate is a gentler alternative to acids.

If you have already tried aluminium etching, come along and take it to the next step.
