About this Workshop:
Interested in trying etching for the first time? Join us for a 2-in-1 class as we etch gorgeous copper pendants for jewelry or decorative purposes, then ink them up and print them as mini intaglio prints! Students will learn how to draw into hard ground and create a line etching using ferric chloride. While our pendants hang out in the ferric tank, we will take a look at etching examples from Pyramid’s library and demystify all your etching-related questions!
Level: Beginner—No previous experience necessary and all materials are provided.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Etai Rogers-Fett is a printmaker, judaica artist, and arts educator living on Piscataway land in Maryland. Etai spends most of his time at the intersection of two very alive cultures that are often wrongfully assumed to be “dead” – print and Yiddish. He works as an artistic associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Hyattsville and teaches printmaking at several other local art centers, including Washington Printmakers Gallery. Working primarily in etching and woodcut printmaking methods, Etai weaves together archival research, storytelling and oral histories, decorative traditions from Jewish book arts, and speculative imagining.
