Canting is a pen-like tool used to apply liquid hot wax

Economical zinc plate for etching, unpolished, and unbacked. The plate is 0.8mm thick which makes it good for use with small tabletop presses. The zinc has a fine milled finish, ready to polish and degrease for use with traditional resists and grounds.

Great for use with B.I.G. etching grounds or with acrylic grounds. These etching plates are also suitable for non-etched intaglio techniques such as drypoint and engraving.

The back of the plate will require the application of an acid-resistant stop out.

E.C. Lyons Roulettes are made in the US, and are recognised across the world as the finest roulettes available. Designed to be used in intaglio printmaking processes the rotating drum at the head of the tool will stipple the plate surface with dots or lines. These small impressions will hold ink and appear darker in the finished print. They can be used for mark making in their own right or for making corrections to areas of tone on the plate.

Lawrence’s Rhinds Stop Out Varnish is a traditional strong bitumen-based stopping out varnish. It dries with a very dark and opaque finish. Appropriate for backing the plate as well as stopping out areas not to be bitten during etching.

Lawrence Lump Resin is used to make aquatint in etching, a precise method of creating tone. Made with natural pine resin, it can be melted as part of making your own etching ground or used for making aquatint where the grains are dusted onto the etching plate either in an aquatint box or by gently shaking through muslin. Once the grains are heated, they melt and adhere to the plate, creating tiny islands of acid resist around which you can etch your plate to varying degrees.

The beauty of grinding your own resin powder from the lump form is that you can precisely control the appearance of your aquatint with a variation of grain, lifting the tonal areas from too flat an appearance.
Wear a dust mask when using.

Lawrence Resin Powder is used to make aquatint in etching, a precise method of creating tone. Made with colophony rosin, a natural powdered pine resin, the grains are dusted on to the etching plate either in an aquatint box, or by gently shaking through muslin. Once the grains are heated, they melt and adhere to the plate, creating tiny islands of acid resist around which you can etch your plate to varying degrees.

It is a natural substance so the particle size can vary. Wear a dust mask when using.

Lawrence pure beeswax in lump form. Beeswax is an ingredient in stop-outs and etching grounds. Due to its resistance to acid it is the preferred wax for printmakers and is an important raw material in the studio.

Lawrence Copper Sulphate Crystals for mixing up etchant for zinc, steel, and aluminium plates. Not for use with copper or brass. Copper Sulphate can also be used to create a saline sulphate etch by adding household cooking salt. This solution then becomes more active and helps avoid sediments building up inside your lines.

Ensure appropriate protective clothing is worn to avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.

Bespoke stand with extra shelf for the Art Equipment press RKEP3318. This stand is available with self levelling feet, useful if your studio has an uneven floor.

Lawrence Citric Acid is used to create an effective etchant for copper and brass. Citric acid will improve the etching potential of ferric as well as dissolving the sediment, enhancing its performance and producing a precise etch. The advantage of using it over straight ferric is that it can be used in flat trays with the plate face up, as well as in vertical tanks.

Lawrence 1.2mm Copper Plate for etching and engraving is highly polished on one side. The polished surface is protected by a plastic film.

The plate is unbacked and will require the application of an acid-resistant stop-out if etching. As well as etching, copper is also suited to non-etch intaglio techniques such as drypoint, engraving, and mezzotint due to its inherent hardness.

Please allow 2mm tolerance on sizes described.
