Etching is the process of using
strong acid or mordant to cut £55-£120 2 minutes
into the unprotected parts of
a metal surface to create a
design in intaglio in the metal
(the original process—in
modern manufacturing other
chemicals may be used on
other types of material).
Linocut is a printmaking
technique, a variant of £16-£55 7 hours
woodcut in which a sheet of
linoleum (sometimes
mounted on a wooden block)
is used for the relief surface.
A design is cut into the
linoleum surface with a sharp
knife, V-shaped chisel or
gouge.
