Free Etching Workshop

Teacher -  Mary St.George

Etching is a 500 year old medium involving drawing on copper or zinc plates, ‘etching’ them(acid), and printing from them on a press.  Acid and non-acid techniques are taught including: drypoint(non-acid), hard ground, aquatinting and sugar lift among others(acid).  It is an incredibly varied medium where ‘mistakes’ lead one to new and surprising ideas and results.  This free workshop is aimed at teaching one or two simple techniques for beginners.

Mary St.George is an experienced art teacher and artist who runs painting and etching workshops in her studio in Colares. 

Time/Day:  10am – 1pm / Proposed Dates:  Feb 3, 10 or 17 / price of copper/zinc plates not included

Happy New Year!!!   Bom Novo Ano!!!
I recently attended a collage workshop at HEATHER TAYLOR's studio in Monte Estoril.  The last couple of months I've been having fun, up to my elbows in glue, and would like to show you what I've been up to.  Thanks Heather!
