Simple Metal Etching

Date: Saturday, August 23, 2003
Time: 9am - 4pm
Instructor: Jacqueline Sullivan
Cost: $75

In this class we will learn this simple and safe technique to etch metal. The etched metals can then later be used to make collage elements, book covers or jewelry. We will use a Xerox transfer technique as well as some rubber stamping and our own designs on copper and brass to create these unique works of art. We will also experiment with some simple patinas to color the brass or copper. We'll use our etched metals as covers for some simple book forms.

Supplies ($15):

• Metal for the etching
• Handouts
• Xeroxes for making transfers
• Transfer material
• Etching solution
• Wet & Dry Sandpaper

• Old scissors for cutting metal
• Rubber gloves
• Apron
• Quilting Iron or Bunny Burner (if you have it - there will be some available to share)
