Zea Mays Printmaking Virtual World Tour:
Experimental Etching Resists for Copper Sulfate Mordant
by Hanah Williams
Recorded demonstration now available here
Hanah Williams came to Zea Mays Printmaking in 2018 to participate in our Green Printmaking Certificate Program. As a studio educator in Printmaking at the University of South Australia (Adelaide) she teaches Eco-Aware Etching and Relief printmaking processes. During Hanah’s time at ZMP she worked in all facets of safer etching and shared her expertise in the use of Copper Sulfate Saline as a mordant for aluminum and steel, which she introduced to the University years prior. Hanah spreads her knowledge of safer printmaking throughout South Australia through workshops and demonstrations.
In this demonstration, Hanah will be presenting etching resist techniques on aluminum in a copper sulfate mordant. Resists will include oil-based paint marker, experimental applications of BIG ground and litho crayon. Using different materials as resists gives artists the opportunity to experiment with mark making, texture and shape. Resists can be applied intuitively and provide the freedom to develop new ways of working and image making.
