Etchiiing! God I love etching. Does your school use blowtorches to melt on the aquatints like RISD did, or a lame hotplate like NSCAD turns out to do? (whyyyy is my own school's printmaking department less badass :C)
Blowtorches! I remember this one time, at RISD last semester. I was blowtorching the aquatint on my huge copperplate (this bitch, at 11"x17") and my cell phone rang in my pocket. I pulled it out with one hand and continued to blowtorch with the other.
It was my mum. I answered the phone and said 'hi mom, I'm using a blowtorch right now. What's up?', and kind of revelled in the startled silence that ensued. (Her first words to me in that conversation were 'wait, what?')
The aquatint turned out perfectly, for the record. 8)
