repoussage [rə¦pü ¦säzh]

(graphic arts)

In etching, when a plate is repaired, scraped, and rubbed, there is a hollow left that will print a gray smudge; repoussage involves hammering out the hollow by putting the plate face down on a flat steel surface and tapping it gently from the back with a repoussage hammer.

Repoussage

the production of raised images on sheet metal. The reverse side of the metal sheet is laid against a block of special resin, and a special hammer is used to strike a raising tool applied most frequently to the face side. Repoussage is one of the oldest techniques used in decorative metalworking.
