Stephen Lawlor's Multi-plate etching demo video is now live on our YouTube channel!
This is a fabulous, detailed must-see. Stephen discusses printing methods, registration and ways of wiping the plate for multi-plate etching (plus, we think he's super charming!).

The demo video was recorded on Friday, September 4, 2015, during the opening / artist reception for Ephemera- Etchings by Stephen Lawlor. Stephen was the first place winner of our 2013 International Juried exhibition, and this 2015 solo exhibition is part of the award New Grounds offered.

Internationally renowned printmaker Stephen Lawlor provides a detailed, multi-plate etching demonstration at New Grounds Print Workshop & Gallery in Albuquerque, NM.
Lawlor lives and works in Dublin, Ireland and was the 2013 International Juried Exhibition Winner at New Grounds Gallery. Lawlor's multi-plate etchings have a rich tonality similar to the lushness of traditional oil paintings and in this demonstration he shows and discusses methods for inking, wiping and printing multiple plates to produce such richness (including registration methods).
