Etching : An Artist's Guide : Book By Ann Norfield

Etching: An Artist’s Guide is a practical book that introduces the equipment and processes involved in etching. The clear instructions and visual guides explain the many methods available for making marks on a metal plate before the ink is applied and the image is transferred onto paper.

Printmaker Ann Norfield specialises in etching and is one of the founders of East London Print Studio. In this book, she introduces a broad range of techniques while allowing the artist to develop their own unique approach. Topics covered include the materials and equipment needed to get started, explanation of intaglio processes, hard and soft grounds, and editioning and presentation alongside practical tips and encouragement for the artist to experiment and combine techniques.
