Creative Surface Etching Class


In the Creative Surface Etching class students complete two projects.

  • The first project is that of a lion, using a simple lion image given in class.

  • The second project uses the same image but the students are to use their own imaginations and create a very different outcome from the first.

You learn to draw with your knife and as you cut the resist design your original artwork. No pencils allowed!

No two works of art alike.

Curious of the outcome? See finished student lions.
Experience first hand and take a class.
We'll add your lion to the web site.


This class is designed to familiarize the student with the four elements of surface etching:

  • levels (not to be confused with carving),
  • solid frosting,
  • shading, and
  • clear.

These four possibilities can be used in unlimited combinations to produce a richness of product impossible using a simple “black-and-white” surface etching process.
