Tools and material for etching: aquatint scale, paint, needle, tampon and zinc plate
The great engraver Albrecht Dürer already produced some masterpieces of etching. With the development of a suitable copper base, the line etching technique was perfected. No less a figure than Rembrandt, the “magician of etching”, brought this discipline to perfection. New techniques developed, such as aquatint etching, which reached its peak with Goya. To this day, these processes of the great masters have lost none of their fascination. Once you have conquered the high art of the various techniques of etching, you will remain addicted to them.
The participants are introduced to the techniques of etching and have the temporally coherent opportunity to realize their own picture design by means of multi-stage aquatints and/or line etching, drypoint, scraping art up to Vernis mou and to hold it in their hands on the same weekend! Experimental work is also possible. Two presses up to 80 × 100 cm are available for printing. The practical work is accompanied by information on the history of etching and art contemplations. Please bring drawings or similar, if available.
