Self Etching Battery – Passive Galv-Etch
This etching process was first described by Cedric green on his website and by Alphonso Crugera in his recently published Handbook. In this process the cell becomes a self etching battery. When two metals with different potentials are placed together in electrical contact in an electrolyte, one metal will act as anode and the

At last, after ten months I have approval for my research into the development and use of Electro Etching and Electro Plating as a medium in printmaking. In this series of prints I have been exploring the potential for calligraphic mark making. The original drawings were transferred onto the plates using photo sensitive emulsion. The
