About the tutor

Judith Rosenberg has a B.A. in Fine Arts from Leeds College of Art, majoring in painting with printing as an elective (UK).
In 1989, she started printmaking at Studio One, Canberra and found that etching was the medium closest to her daily drawing practice and to her heart. She has since made printmaking her main arts practice.
Since 1989, Judith has had about 20 solo print exhibitions and participated in many more. Over the last decade she has facilitated about 10 print (etching) workshops. These were mainly through regional galleries in Queensland. They have produced many interesting works and been a lot of fun.
