I specialize in creating copper etching prints using a rare 18th-century technique originally developed by William Blake in England. In our small artisan studio in Gozo, I have revived this forgotten method — known as copper relief-etching — by combining acid-etched copper plates with hand-inked, relief-style printing. Each print features my original drawings and is individually crafted from plate to paper using traditional tools and patient, hands-on work. This slow, intentional process results in timeless pieces that blend historic craftsmanship with a contemporary artistic voice.
