Plate

Here you can see the reverse process of printmaking.  

Everything drawn on this plate will be reversed when printed.

I am currently drawing on this plate using an etching needle, I remove the "ground" or coating.

Once I have completed this process, I will etch this plate using ferric chloride.

With the completed plate, I will print an edition.

Check back soon!
