welcome to the site of INTAGLIO PRINTING STUDIO
・
the workshop of the etching printmaking
Let's enjoy making etching prints !
polisy
Our studio recommends a healthier way of plate making, non-toxic printmaking.
The air in the room is odorless. Corrosive solution is ferric chloride. Aquatint uses a box that is not exposed to any pine resin. We recommend a roller pull on warmer for etching ground.
For plate cleaning, we use orange skin based cleaning agents such as Dissolvit and try to avoid the use of solvents such as ligroin as much as possible.
On the other hand, of course, old-fashioned plate making methods are also possible.

about the lesson
English speakers are welcome
At first, we learn the techniques of intaglio printmaking, called etching and aquatint.
Etching is for making fine lines by scratching on the surface of copper plate by sharp needle.
Aquatint is for making gray tone.
And then, you can learn the other techniques whatever you want, for example, mezzotint, soft-ground and so on.
1 lesson is in small numbers, within about 3 persons.
You can learn how to make etching on almost a one-to-one basis.
