etchers
Plate line incisers
Etchers are people who create images by cutting lines into metal, glass, or other surfaces with acid or sharp tools.
The term covers both artists who make etchings as fine art prints and craftspeople who engrave designs onto objects: The etchers in the printmaking studio shared acid baths.
