PAUL COLDWELL : "The master class will focus on etching and explore the development of an image through line only. The workshop will consider the role of the acid to determine the character of the line and how through progressive etching a rich image can be produced. I will demonstrate the gradual development of an image from tentative sketch through towards a completed image."
