MAD SCIENCE: ETCHING WITH SALT WATER!

Finally you can forget about using nasty chemicals that are difficult to dispose of, and achieve a great surface design on copper, brass, nickel or steel, using salt water and electricity. In this workshop you will experiment with this easy technology to put your own (or other copyright-free) designs on flat sheets of HARD BRASS that will be suitable for embossing softer metals with a rolling mill. You can try different types of etching resist and use hand drawn or photo-transferred images. Etched metal is great for jewelry, mixed media art, ornaments and commemorative pieces. Possibilities abound! No metalsmithing experience required.

VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ CAFEFULLY! Equipment kits will be provided by the instructor, but students will need to order and bring some of their own supplies and bring a gallon of prepared salt solution to class, as described in the supply list on the Spruill website.
