ElectroEtch Print by Marion Behr |

| Non toxic printmaking by the ElectroEtch method looks forward to a future of safe etching in zinc and copper while thinking back to a 500 year old tradition which must be preserved. Acid based etching is starting to be restricted all over the world because of its danger to the health of the artist as well as potential damage to the environment. The ElectroEtch method uses very low voltage direct current as the etching agent. This non toxic printmaking method is absolutely safe and ecologically sound . No dangerous or explosive gases are ever generated or present. It permits limitless working and reworking of zinc and copper plates using the traditional as well as non traditional image creation techniques . Click on the ElectroEtch logo and you will be able to look forward to a panorama of non toxic printmaking while thinking back to all the old and loved traditions of this art. | |
