HAUSPRINT Etching Year Exhibition

The HAUSPRINT Etching Year is a unique opportunity to learn printmaking skills over one year. This etching course is designed to teach you the essentials of etching, to introduce new techniques and help you build and develop your work, whatever your starting point.

Seamlessly installing their work together this afternoon and getting ready for the PV tonight, Friday, and a weekend of talking to visitors, and hopefully selling some prints.

Etching was originally invented as a method for adding decoration to armour during the Middle Ages. Artists began to use metal plates for printing in the 15th century, when Albrecht Durer made work on iron plates. Later artists such as Andrea Mantegna in Italy and Rembrandt in Holland went on to make etchings on copper.
