that's quite a story! it's a good thing you ended up wanting to dive into etching for your metals- you're really good at it. As for me, my friends have snuck me into the etching studios- I've never really taken a class. The teacher was a little wary with me using the lab since I wasn't paying for anything... so I'll probably just pay the lab fee this summer and get stuff done. Since I never technically took a class, I've got a TON to learn... : )

I was lucky when it came to getting into print making. My advisor had done some fiddling with some transfer credits and made it so I didn't have to take intro to print. He felt I didn't need to take any print classes. Then I switched advisors and became a metal smither. Shortly after that,I came to a point I needed to learn how to etch some of my pendants. The metals teacher had no idea and so that led me right back to the print teacher who helped me a little. I then decided to take his Intermediate print class and the rest is history. YOu really should try to sneak into the print studio and do a few quick ones. Maybe even see if the teacher will let you piddle. The print teacher here gave me permission to come in and do prints whenever I wanted to.

Same here--! I'm done with school as of last week, and I'm so irked with myself that I hadn't tried printmaking up until just a month ago after four years of art school. I fell in love with it, and now I can buy etching plates, but I'm not even sure where I can go to get them aquatinted and pressed. I may just try to sneak back into the printing studios this summer, but urgh. Good luck with continuing with prints!

Thank you very much. I'm hoping that I will be able to keep doing prints as a hobby now that I have graduated. :-D I enjoy the process a lot and would hate to not be able to do more in the future.
