DryPoint Etching
About
Drypoint is a different way of creating an intaglio print which, like an etching, is all about fine lines and delicate marks.Unlike etchings where grooves are made through the use of chemicals, the artist manually scratches into the plate to create rough areas (burr) which hold the ink.
Like etchings, the plate is covered with ink and then carefully wiped away before printing, leaving ink in the scratches.
In this class, participants will learn how to etch and print an acetate drypoint etching.
