WHAT'S AN ETCHING ?

It's a medieval technique of print-making where wet paper is draped over a printing plate and rolled through an etching press: a hand-cranked contraption that exerts thousands of pounds per square inch of pressure to force the ink from the plate onto the paper.
The printing plate is made of metal which has the design ETCHED into it by acid, hence the term "etching"

Etchings have a characteristic "feel" they are capable of incredible detail, and each will usually be slightly different because the plate is inked each time by hand before printing. An etching will always have the impression of the metal printing plate physically stamped into the paper. We use traditional carbon lamp black and linseed oil ink and Hahnemuhle paper for our etchings. They will potentially last millennia.
