Etch-A-Sketch(Book)
Instructor: Ms. Wendy Jo New
Level: All Skill Levels Requirements: Previous metalsmithing experience is helpful but not necessary Program: Summer Status: Open Length: 1 Days Tuition: $ 125 Materials: $ 25 Date: July 06, 2009 - July 06, 2009 Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Location: Metalwerx
In just one day, students will learn the art of photo-etching brass and copper. Simply stated, this is transferring a photo-copied image to a piece of metal and then etching this piece of metal by floating it in an acid bath. Actually doing it takes many more steps.
With this newly learned skill, they will produce an etched piece that will be attached to the cover of their sketch book. Additionally, while pieces are being etched, students will pierce, saw, and assemble cover plates by sweat soldering metal "cut-outs" to a strip of metal. This, too, will ultimately adorn the sketch book. All that in just a day!
