What's an etching ?

It's an extremely old form of printing carried out by hand. Each etching produced will have slight variations from the last giving each etching a unique "feel". The design is burned into a metal printing plate using acid (that's the "etching" part. This is repeated again and again to build up shading and tone on the plate, an incredibly laborious and skilled process. The plate is then inked by hand and run (or "pulled") through an etching press in contact with damp paper. The ink is squeezed from the plate onto the paper under thousands of pounds of pressure creating the print. The shape of the printing plate is embossed into the paper, a feature of all prints made on an etching press. This process results in distinct textural qualities and depth not found in other printing methods.
