I've slowly moved away from etching and more towards copper engraving this year thanks to a string of breakthroughs in how I work. So I thought I may as well push forward to see where it takes me. #printing press #etchingpress #printstudio #printmaker #printmaking #copperengraving

Here my cuts need to stop at an abrupt line which means the copper curls up. The second tool I use is a scraper to cut the curls of metal. #phlegm #phlegmart #copperengraving #printmaking #intaglio #miniprint #burin
