Drypoint

Yesterday I had the chance to sit in on an etching workshop taught by Steven Chapp.  I used a sketch I'd done at lunch the day before.  The technique is known as "drypoint intaglio," a fancy way to describe tracing our image onto plexiglass, inking it, and running it through a press.  Cool process, and educational.  It was held at if Art Gallery in Columbia, where an exhibit of Chapp's work can be seen.
