Description: Etching is a chemical process used to make an image on a plate that holds ink. That ink is then transferred onto paper with a press. In this class you will use a non-toxic copper sulfate etchant and aluminum plates to create your series of images that can be inked and printed in a variety of ways. Materials fee payable to instructor: $30, includes water-cleanup Aquawash or Akua inks and prepared plates. Please see below and your receipt for additional materials list. THIS CLASS IS AT CUBBERELY COMMUNITY CENTER, ROOM F4.

One sheet print paper (Rives BFK or Stonehenge are two good options; paper also available for purchase in class)
An etching needle if you have one (needles available in class for studio use)

This class is at Cubberley Community Center, room F4, 4000 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto
