Etching is seen as an extension of drawing. This class offers the opportunity for art students to learn and explore various etching techniques. The class is only open to full-time registered BA or foundation art students and is suitable for all levels. We have a limited number of spaces available to book for the term, but we always keep space for drop-ins. The class operates on a first-come first-served basis. Materials are available to purchase at a reduced price. Please bring student ID as proof of status. 

Please note: Our Print Room has limited access and etching involves using hazardous chemicals. The print room environment is not suitable for everyone. Etching classes are unsuitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those sensitive to chemicals or with breathing difficulties.
