Resist Glass Etching Techniques
This
is where you start learning about glass etching - if you are interested
primarily in etching awards, corporate and personal gifts.
(For concentrated instruction on all etching techniques, see our
4 day Professional class.) In this 3 day class, you will learn everything
about how to make and use all types of Photo Resists. Learn how
to create your own photo resists, use pre-imaged resists, or combine
with other resist techniques. Learn how to create etched designs
of almost any complexity, any number of times, with no hand cutting
or peeling of resist. The primary technique shown in this class
is surface etching, with an introduction into carving and shading.
This is the
only class available anywhere that will teach you in-depth
techniques for using all 6 types of photo resist - 2 non-adhesive,
2 self adhesive, and 2 dry process type (RapidMask). Techniques
include how to personalize beautiful glass and crystal pieces for
corporate or indivudual gifts and how to use photo resist in multi-stage
carving and shading techniques. Students will create up to 12
projects on glass, stone and ceramics. Computer programs applicable
to creating photo resists will be presented and use of a computer
to prepare the artwork will be demonstrated. Color filling etched
glass and stone will be introduced.
