ETCHING ALCHEMY 13 - 14 JUNE 2026
Aluminium Etching with Printmaking Sisters
Join us for a hands-on course that makes aluminium etching approachable and enjoyable for everyone—no matter your level of experience.
Aluminium is a wonderful metal to work with, and when combined with the safe copper sulphate etchant, it produces a rich variety of tones and marks. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of pulling your first print and seeing the image come alive on paper.
You’ll also learn a simple but effective method for adding colour, giving your etching even more depth and vibrancy.
With years of teaching experience in Florence, New Zealand, and Australia, Robin and Annie share not only their knowledge but also their passion for safe, environmentally friendly printmaking.
