Etching
When entering the front doors of Women's Studio Workshop, you step into the world of art beginning with our etching studio. The large store-front style windows allow floods of natural light to pour in to the studio. The combination of hardwood floors, long wooden countertops,and metallic presses inspire a beautiful working atmosphere. Artists can work in the intaglio studio through one of our grant programs, during our Summer Arts Institute, or by renting the studio. Rather than use traditional acids to etch plates, WSW uses non-toxic materials; Ferric cloride for copper and salt etch for aluminum and zinc. We generally stock copper and aluminum plates, along with a selection of fine print papers and handmade papers. Private instruction is also available—simply call us or send an email.
