Green Etching

I'm excited to announce that NC Black will be visiting us in November for a green etching workshop.

NC BLACK Co
Galvanic Etched and Anticlastic Formed Cuff Bracelet Workshop

Galvanic etching is an electrolytic process, the principles of which have been known since the early 19th century, and the original process was patented in 1840 and called electro-etching.

This workshop will demonstrate the galvanic process on a small scale for studio applications. Students will learn to electrically etch with minerals bronze, copper, and sterling silver. This is the ONLY non-industrial etching technique available that allows All the etched silver material to be recovered. The projects in this class include several image transfer methods as well as resists and intaglio techniques that will be used to create several etched bracelet blanks. After students etch a bracelet blank in each material, they will then learn to anticlastically raise them into cuff bracelets using NC BLACK Co's end hook stakes and mallets.

Materials required for a 2 day workshop:
• 18 ga blanks cut into 1”x8” lengths EACH of sterling, nugold, and copper.
o (as many blanks as a student wishes to etch)
• Any good quality line art drawings to transfer (no super fine, hair line drawings please), rub on transfers, and rubber stamps



Bracelets etched and formed by students in the Galvanic Etching Workshop!
