Hands-on Introduction to Intaglio/Etching Printmaking Learn to create your own prints using traditional and experimental techniques
This workshop brings together my passion for traditional etching and engraving with the more experimental approaches I have developed over the years through working with mentors, friends, and colleagues.
Designed for beginners as well as those with some prior experience, the course offers a comprehensive introduction to line etching and its many possibilities. Together, we will work through the full process: preparing a zinc plate, developing a design suited to etching, applying and working with hard grounds, and gaining foundational printing experience.
The workshop is best suited to participants with some background in drawing or image-making (including photography, collage, or similar practices) and a genuine interest in process and experimentation.
Course Structure
The Introduction to Etching is divided into two sessions:
Session 1 — Wednesday evening, 16:30–21:00: Plate preparation, applying hard ground, designing, and etching
Session 2 — Saturday morning, 10:00–14:30 (or Wednesday evening): Etching final details and printing
A follow-up course is available for those who wish to continue, focusing on the tonal techniques of etching (aquatint).
Upcoming Dates
Wednesday 19.06 + Saturday 13.06
Wednesday 22.07 + Saturday 25.07
Wednesday 23.09 + Saturday 26.09
++ Custom dates are also available — please get in touch directly ++
What to Know Before Signing Up
No previous printmaking experience is required — everyone is welcome.
Participants are encouraged to bring visual references to work from: drawings, photographs, magazine clippings, books, or anything else that inspires you.
All tools and materials are provided, including solvents, acids, and inks. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, or bring an apron.
Zinc plates (A5) and printing paper are not included. These can either be purchased through me or sourced in advance from a specialist supplier such as Boesner or Modulor. Once you have signed up, get in touch and we can arrange this together.
Payment
Payment by bank transfer is also possible. Please contact me at hadass.gilboa@gmail.com for details.
