I am @houndsandbrownd, and this is Hound and Brown:
Welcome to my home etching studio blog, my name is Dean, and I’m a lover of all things printmaking.
I first discovered the art of etching through my wife, who introduced me to workshops in our local community. I quickly fell in love with the creative process and the satisfaction of seeing a beautiful print come to life from a simple metal plate.
After taking several workshops and creating my own prints, I realised that I wanted to take my passion to the next level. I wanted to create my own home etching studio where I could experiment with different techniques, materials, and processes at my own pace.
On this blog, you can expect to find posts about my progress in building the studio, tips and tricks for doing it on a budget, different etching techniques and processes, and more. I’ll also be sharing my own etched pieces and potentially offering them for sale.
Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you’ll join me on this exciting journey of creating and exploring the art of printmaking.
