Contemporary Engraving Art Giancarlo Busato.

Through the study of a project and laboratory practice necessary to achieve the realisation of an engraving, the participants will acquire thorough knowledge about intaglio. We will analyse engraving techniques for direct indentation (burin, drypoint, mezzotint), recess and indirect engraving (etching, aquatint, soft paint). Special attention will be paid to the preparation of the slab using acid and different print modes.
