SOFT GROUND ETCHING
with Glenda Orr and Gwenn Tasker

Sunday 22nd June 10am-4pm

Impress members $85, non-members $100 including materials

Students will need to be familiar with basic etching techniques. Completion of the Impress workshop Etching for Beginners or equivalent, would be advantageous.
This course will cover the techniques and particular qualities of soft ground. Soft ground is an etching technique which allows the marks of drawing materials such as pencil and crayon to be created on the plate as well as being able to reproduce textured patterns. (Materials such as feathers, lace, leaves, fabric, netting, foil and papers are ideal).
Examples of the use of soft ground by a range of artists will be shown.

Glenda Orr and Gwenn Tasker have recently graduated from QCA with Bachelor of Fine Art degrees. Glenda completed her Honours year in 2007 and Gwenn will finish in 2008. They both specialise in etching and have won various art prizes for their prints. They have participated in numerous group shows in Brisbane and regional Queensland, and have shown in exhibitions in Hong Kong, Paris, Shanghai and Toronto.
