Environment Indoor

Scratch an image into an acid-resistant ground on a metal plate, immerse it in acid to bite the lines, then ink the plate and press it onto dampened paper to pull a print of your shared design.

The Essentials

  • Wear gloves and goggles when handling acid or mordant baths
  • Work in a ventilated area away from open flame
  • Practice controlling line depth with test plates before your final piece
  • Clean the plate thoroughly before inking to avoid smudges
  • Wipe ink carefully so it stays only in the etched lines
