Students will learn how to transform their own drawings or imagery from copyright-free sources into high contrast, black & white images that are ideal for etching. Students should bring their images on 8.5”x11” paper.  We will be utilizing a page scanner, a computer with PhotoShop, and a laser printer to prepare the images.

Images will be transferred onto silver using PnP circuit board film and a t-shirt press.  Etching will be performed using cupric nitrate and electricity. This etching method produces no toxic fumes, and the solution can be filtered to recover all of the silver (which can then be melted or sent back to the refiner with your other silver scraps). After filtering, the solution can be used over and over again.
