Halfwood Galleon Two Test Part 1

Making and testing Halfwood Etching presses is what this artist does. Bill Ritchie, Seattle artist and designer of the halfwood press, makes a video of his testing of Galleon Halfwood No. 2 - an etching press that also can print relief, planar (vitreography) and stenciled, mixed-media prints. In the first half of the 20-minute process, here he introduces his materials and inks a copper plate. See part to for the completion of the print.
