This limited edition of zinc plate etchings are signed, numbered and individually hand tinted by the artist. The zinc plates were etched by Poppy Melia in Cork Printmakers fine art printmaking studio, Wandesford Quay, Cork.

Etching was introduced in the early 1500’s and as a method of printmaking, it is, along with engraving, the most important technique for old master prints, and remains in use today.

Etching is a process which uses acid to make marks in a metal plate. Once the plate has been etched by the artist the whole plate is inked up and then wiped to remove the surface ink from the plate, leaving ink in the incised areas only. The paper is dampened so that, under pressure, it will be squeezed into the inked recesses of the plate. 

Poppy Melia then hand tints the prints in her Kerry Studio. Each one is painted to order.
