DIY Etching | 2 Part Course

Introducing my first-ever guest tutor, Lindsay Grime!

Lindsay is a friend and fellow graduate from Edinburgh College of Art, with an inspiring career in illustration. She has a distinct and beautiful style, which she also incorporates into her ceramic jewellery, painting, murals and printing projects. See more of her work here.  

In the first week we'll learn the basics of this fun and satisfying technique, involving plant milk cartons and a pasta machine (sounds strange I know!) In week 2 we'll get a bit more experimental and see what happens when we get scissors and colour involved!

The great thing about this technique is that once you've learned it, it's something you can do yourself at home, and is easy and super low-cost (using discarded materials) compared to traditional etching processes that require access to a press and the use of copper and other pricey metals. A whole printmaking world can suddenly open up!

The sessions will be on Saturday the 26th of October and Saturday the 2nd of November from 2pm til 4pm in Libby's Artroom right by Queen's Street Station in the heart of Glasgow.

Suitable for ages 16+
