Many techniques will be demonstrated throughout this course including: soft ground, aquatint, spit-bite, sugar-lift etching, and soap ground. Traditional and contemporary intaglio applications will also be presented and experimentation will be encouraged. A series of small pieces in each process will be produced and a larger technical combination plate will comprise the final portion of this course.
