Etching Sink in a print shop.

Etching Sink in a print shop.

The sink in a printmaking shop is hit with many harsh chemicals daily. In the etching process, different chemicals and acids are used on etching plates and sometimes chemicals spill outside of the designate bins. The result of these materials building over time can cause a beautiful array of colors such as oranges, yellows, and greens due to these chemicals reacting and oxidizing.
