Here are images from my time in the ceramics workshop. Here i have used a special pen and special ink that is used to write or draw onto metal such as the copper i was using, this is then heated with a blow torch to heat the metal so that the acid bath which the metal soaks in reacts with the chemicals and metal to eat away at the area around the writting so that when i took the copper out of the acid and rinsed it off it shows the lettering is raised from the copper sheet. This is then sanded down and then run over with black polish to reveal the out come in the image shown at the bottom.
This is from using the paint brush and ink using the same process as the pen but it has not worked as the writting has not stayed so the sheet has just dissolved in the acid. In future i shall just use the pen to make sure i get the best results possible as well as to make my art as higher quality as possible.
