Week 8 of NuSteel, we got to try our hand at some drypoint etchings. Students based their images on a book they had read for English, resulting in a range of themes explored in these works.
Students worked hard at filing their plexiglass plates, sketching and then reversing an image, and etching it into the plexiglass using a variety of etching tools.

After the plates were etched, students brought them into Centre3's professional print studio, and inked and pressed their plates.

The results were impressive... and I will post them for your viewing pleasure very soon!
