About

Electro-etching is a fabulous low-tech and low-cost way to add design and dimension to a flat sheet of metal. Designs can be printed using most regular laser printers or photocopiers. You will learn to transfer your designs to a metal sheet, prepare the plate for electro-etching, etch the metal (re-purposed cell phone chargers are involved - very cool!), and remove the resist.
