Description
Etching, Engraving, and Other Intaglio Printmaking Techniques by Ruth Leaf provides a comprehensive guide to intaglio printmaking techniques. This thorough handbook covers etching, engraving, drypoint, and other well-known methods, as well as less-familiar techniques such as tuilegraphs and transfers. The book is divided into four parts, starting with an introduction to materials and tools, printing equipment, papers, presses, and workshop setup for maximum safety and efficiency. The author then delves into detailed discussions of etching techniques, including formulas for grounds and inks, aquatint, white ground, hard ground, soft ground, sugar lift, and acids. For each procedure, clear step-by-step directions cover the process itself, materials and equipment required, and cleanup. Additionally, the book includes an "what went wrong" section at the end of each chapter to diagnose problems and offer solutions. This practical guide also covers other mediums and methods, including drypoint, engraving, collagraphs, and the Blake Transfer Method.
