Putney School of Art & Design PUTNEY SCHOOL OF ART & DESIGN Course Printmaking Etching (All Levels) Tutor: Ed Adlington What level is the course and do I need any particular skills? All Levels What is the course about and how will I learn? Etching is a printing process by which an image is drawn and scratched onto a metal plate. Once the plate has been made, multiple images can be taken from it. As a process it follows on from engraving, but is more fluid. It was used by painters to reproduce their paintings. The origins of etching are with Goldsmiths, metal chasers and more particularly by the armourer and gunmaker, long before it was used in the making of prints. You will be taught on a one to one level or small group situation, including mutually beneficial talks, which will be illustrated and demonstrated. NOTE: Asthma sufferers may be affected adversely by some of the chemicals used in the etching process. If you are pregnant you may need to take medical advice before enrolling on the course. What will I achieve? On this course you will learn: 1. Plate preparation. 2. Methods of etching and printing. 3. Methods include: drypoint, hard ground, soft ground, aquatint for making tone, open bite, mezzotint, sugar lift. 4. Image transference, black & white and colour printing, plus more experimental methods. A mix of student's personal ideas and advised projects will be the focus of the class, taught on a one to one basis, including group demonstrations. Will there be any work outside the class? You may be asked to bring in objects/tools of your own from time to time. There may also be some general art based research or practice required over the term. What to bring to the first session: The specialist nature of tools will be discussed in the first session. Communal tools are provided until students purchase their own. More experienced students should bring their tools, and any ongoing plates etc. to the first session. Are there any other costs? Mono-printing is charged at £1 per session towards ink costs Extra Model fees are split between the class as well as resources that the tutor chooses to buy for the group. Photocopies: 10p for A4 and 20p for A3 What can I do after completing the course? Information on progression routes will be adapted to individual student needs & requirements. Further options would be other printmaking classes, and drawing classes to increase skills. PSAD also offer a part-time two year Diploma course.This is a good option for those who are interested in art as a career in the future. Notes: The morning & afternoon are separate classes but students can opt for all day, as etching demands a more considered time scheme. Your tutor can advise you further about where to go next. There are also other specialist classes that take place over half term and the summer school.

  • Model-Driven Virtual Mezzotint Techniques
    EUROGRAPHICS 2005 / J. Dingliana and F. Ganovelli Short Presentations Model-driven Virtual Mezzotint Techniques D. Tasaki1, S. Mizuno2and M. Okada1 1 Graduate School of Information, Production and Systems, Waseda University, Kitakyushu, Japan 2 Computer Center, Toyohashi University of Technology, Toyohashi, Japan e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Mezzotint is a traditional printing technique that is categorized into copperplate printing where an entire plate surface is roughened by some steel tools. In this paper the authors propose a method to realize two mezzotint techniques by replacing some physical models for the plate making process. The main characteristic of mezzotint is that roughening, scraping, and burnishing the plate will result on a gradation of color from black to white. The paraboloidal incising model and the sweeped paraboloidal model are applied to roughen the plate. Reducing and smoothing operations are introduced to scrape and burnish the plate. By some experiments the authors prove the proposed methods to synthesize copperplate print images.

AT rn CENTS PER COPY Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis PREFACE In 1922 the International Joint Conference Council of the Print­ ing Industry planned an investigation of the hygiene of the printing trades. The general supervision and control of the investigation was placed by the Joint Council in the hands of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman. The Bureau of Labor Statistics was, from the start, called into these conferences and subsequently agreed to do a definitely outlined part of the work involved in the general survey. Under the agree­ ment the Bureau of Labor Statistics was to conduct a branch of the work involving the employment of at least one field investigator. Mr. Swen Kj aer was assigned to this field work. The schedules and questionnaires had of course been jointly agreed upon by Doctor Hoffman and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Special Agent Kjaer began his field work in October, 1922, completing it early in 1924. The present bulletin is the beginning of the publication, of the re­ sults of the joint survey of the hygiene of the printing trades made by the International Joint Conference Council of the Printing In­ dustry and the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation.

  • Printmaking Process: Production and History of the Plates
    The Maximilian-Bodmer Expedition: Travels in the Interior of North America, 1832 – 1834 Printmaking Process: Production and History of the Plates During their journey across America, Prince Maximilian recorded his observations in journals and Bodmer created watercolors and sketches, documenting the flora, fauna, and Native American peoples of the areas they visited. In the summer of 1834, at the conclusion of their historic journey, Maximilian and Bodmer returned to Europe to begin work on the publication and prints which would publically document their experiences and observations. At home on the family estate, Maximilian began to write the text for the book. In Paris, Bodmer supervised several engravers, printers, and colorists in the production of the printed images. Of the 81 plates he produced, 33 were smaller ‘vignettes’ intended to illustrate the 33 chapters of Maximilian’s opus. Fourty-eight larger “tableaux” were issued separately. The subject matter for these prints was derived from Bodmer’s field portraits and landscapes, which were further developed in his Paris studio into final compositions for publication. Bodmer worked closely with 26 engravers for over seven years to create the 81 plates. Following Bodmer’s compositions and directions, the engravers used a variety of complex, demanding printing processes to produce the desired range of textures and impression of light and shadow. The main technique used in the creation of the plates is called “engraving with aquatint.” Engraving is the method of incising lines into a metal plate; aquatint is an etching process (see below) developed in the seventeenth century as a means of duplicating in print the soft look of watercolor paintings.

  • Learning to Look – Week 4 Media and Techniques – Works on Paper
    Learning to Look – Week 4 Media and Techniques – Works on Paper An ORIGINAL PRINT is a work of art which an artist creates by processing a surface of wood, metal, paper, stone or screen so that more than one identical image can be printed from it. Ink is transferred from this prepared surface [often called “the plate”] onto paper (or another material) and becomes the original print, distinct and individual in its form as a work of art. An original print should never be confused with a reproduction, which is a copy of an original artwork, mass­produced by means of an automatic copier, photochemical, or digital process. In contrast, an original print is hand­inked or hand­pulled on a press by the artists themselves or by a skilled printer working under the supervision of the artist. The originally conceived design and composition become inseparable from the process itself. Edition – An edition is the total number of original prints (impressions) made from a plate; In the 20 th century, it became customary for artists to number all the impressions in the edition. Edition numbers often look like fractions: the number on top is the specific impression number; the number on the bottom is the total number of impressions in the edition. The quality of the print bears no relation to the edition number. In addition to the number, each print usually has the artist’s signature and the title of the print, usually in pencil. There are four major types of fine art prints. Each uses a different method for fixing the image to the plate prior to transferring the image to the support.
