Come and learn about modern etching mediums as we continue to keep up with the times in our workshop. Leena will show us new ways to use ‘BIG’, a non-toxic ground.

Andrew Baldwin of Trefeglwys Print Studios, Powys has developed this innovative and versatile non-toxic etching ground. The main constituent of BIG is ink, and it allows the artist printmaker to experiment with many different effects on their etching plate. Techniques ranging from soft and hard ground, photo etching, marbling, relief etching, sandpaper aquatints and coffee lift are but a few which can be explored. BIG has been used at the School of Art University of Aberystwyth since 2002 and has been adopted in many other private and educational print workshops around the world.
