Etching Plates
Etching plates are typically made from metal but can also be made from clear plastic, which is softer than metal and perfect for beginners. Copper etching plates are the most popular type and are ideal for professionals. Zinc etching plates are also commonly used. Metal etching plates are often covered in an acid-resistant ground, and artists use an etching tool to etch their design into the ground, revealing the metal below. The plate is then dipped into acid, which bites into the revealed metal, deepening the lines that make up your design.
