FAQs about Etching & Carving Supplies
What Is Etching
Etching is a process used in printmaking to make incised lines in a metal printing plate, which then retain the applied ink and produce the image. The plate, which may be either copper or zinc, is prepared using an acid-resistant base. The metal is revealed by drawing lines through the ground. The plate is then immersed in acid and the exposed metal is ‘bit,' creating incised lines.
What Is Etching Primer
Etch primers are single-use metal primers that contain a mix of resins to maximise adhesion to the many metal surfaces on which they may be utilized. These primers include a limited amount of phosphoric acid, which is used to etch the metallic surface and improve adhesion.
How To Make Stencils For Etching
1. Find the image you would like to use and make a copy.
2. Attach the image sheet to the contact paper and trace it.
3. Place the stencil on the glass and apply glass etching cream.

Etching is the printmaking process where metallic plates have lines cut into them using carving instruments to draw out designs. These etching plates are often made from copper, iron or zinc, which are then removed of all scratches and imperfections before being covered with paint and being pressed onto art surfaces.
This style was particularly popular throughout the Middle Ages, especially around central Europe.
