Etching The Painterly Way Using Coffee Lift with Mai Osawa – Three Mondays – 16/23/30 March

A three week course, suitable both for beginners and those who have already attended the introductions to less-toxic etching at Ochre and wish to expand their mark-making repertoire in the etching room.

This process lends itself to the creation of delicate pictorial effects and detailed mark-making using fine brushes or even dip pens and involves painting directly onto the metal plate using a coffee lift solution. This is a less-toxic method to that used by Picasso in his wonderfully flamboyant pictorial etchings.

As the course progresses, Mai will introduce you to ways of adding additional tones and further hard lines to produce complex and richly tonal etching plates.

Dates: Mondays 16/23/30 March
Times: 10am to 3pm
Cost: £170 / Members £160
