Drypoint is a printmaking technique for making plates by scratching on metal or plastic. It requires no etching solutions or special preparations, therefore it's a favorite among creative artists. In this video, Bill Ritchie claims it's interesting to start out on a slightly imperfect plate and let ideas for the image develop spontaneously. He uses a little ink to see what he's doing, and then prints his work on a Pram Halfwood Press he helped to build.
