Intro to Copper Etching: Aquatint - Berkeley, CA 2026
Aquatint is an intaglio etching technique that creates distinct fields of tone within an image. More consistent than crosshatching or shading, aquatint is made by melting rosin onto an etching plate, then submerging that plate in acid. The acid bites at the metal wherever the rosin is not, creating a very fine dotted tone. This process can be repeated on the same plate multiple times to build up depth within an image in a technique known as step etching. Students will learn how to step etch their work during this weekend intensive, creating an aquatinted image with 2-3 shades of tone. Participants should arrive with an original 7x7” drawing (with 2 - 3 shades of tone, must include white) that they will turn into an etching.
