Etching

Last week we finished up lithography and this week we started etching with Noelle Noonan, another tutor I've never had before. We only have her on Wednesdays so we've to do a lot on our own. We had our etching workshop yesterday and it's another long process. We got two metal plates (zinc I think?) and a sheet of acetate the same size. We don't have as long with etching as we did lithography because what would have been our third week of it is our progress review. So we only have next week, well, only Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Yesterday after our workshop we got to polish our plates, de-grease them and put the ground wax on it and then put bitchomen (can't spell it) on it and then leave it to dry. Now all we have to do it draw onto it. Just to get an image :/
