To make my etchings, I used the same process that would have been used in the 17th century by Rembrandt. I enjoyed making the etchings a lot because it involved using a zinc plate, acid, a flame on a taper, wax, etc, which made the process very interesting. The subject of my etchings is the swans on Loughborough canal. My photos show my etching plate, all of my etchings together, and my favourite etching, which I did by rolling a layer of blue printing ink over the wax on my etching plate before printing it.
