  • Experimenting with Enamelling

    Stereotyping makes it possible to edition plates as well as prints. The plates become works of art in their own right. They can be enamelled or plated with a different metal.

  • Stereotyping

    Nineteenth century 3D printing, a process called stereotyping using electrolysis to make an exact copy of an object. The first picture is the artefact and the copper stereotype made of it. The second is of the mould made of it in latex. The mould is made conductive with graphite and placed in a frame to hold in place in the electrolysis tank. The electrolytic process plates the graphite with copper making a perfect copy of the original artefact.

  • Electro-Etching Workshop June 2018

    Electro-etching with Andrew Baldwin and Don Braisby

    An integrated safer & less toxic approach to etching

    31 May & 1 June 2018
    10:00am-4:00pm

    This workshop will demonstrate the mark making potential of combining the use of electro-etching and the safer etching processes and techniques developed and taught by Andrew Baldwin. Electro-etching provides a safe, cost effective and creative replacement for acid etching and its alternatives. The combination of the safer etching techniques and electro-etching makes it possible to etch in an open studio and to teach etching in the classroom.

    This is a practical hands-on workshop

    Workshops aim:

    • Provide a simple introduction to the theory and practice of electro-etching and safer etching.
    • Introduce the equipment needed for electro-etching and plating, how to set it up and use it safely.
    • Creative plate making using safer methods and processes to; lay grounds, aquatint plates, spit bite and sugar lift.
    • Proofing and printing plates in two colours.
    • Introduced participants to electroforming and electrotyping as a potential process in printmaking, jewellery and sculpture.

    Objectives:

    • Participants will have gained a working knowledge of electro-etching and the use of safer etching processes and techniques to use in their print making practice.
    • Provide feedback for post-doctoral research.
