Week 9 - #5

If you have been following my blog since the beginning, you will have seen that I planned on making an etching and a print of one of my pieces of artwork. I spent multiple visits to the printmaking team and the supply shop as well as the laser cutting technician but, in the end, I was unsuccessful in making my digital sketch into a print. The technician I really needed was out of town on vacation and I just didn’t feel confident enough to complete it this way anymore. I found working in the studios a huge challenge this summer semester due to covid and technicians’ summer vacations. I was surprised that more people weren’t qualified to work some machines, I thought at the very least there would be two people per machine.
