Testimonials
★★★★★It was great to have Trudy at the Artists Society of Canberra. She explained the process clearly and was an absolutely amazing tutor. Trudy is very generous in sharing her knowledge. She made sure everyone had help when needed and provided an abundance of resources during the workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and highly recommend it to anyone interested in solar plate etching. Thanks Trudy.

★★★★★I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful workshop this last weekend, I haven't had the chance to do some printing for ages and relished the opportunity to learn a new, non-toxic method of etching - so it was perfect!
