Dry Point Etching
Drypoint etching is one of the main intaglio processes. A metal stylus is used to draw directly upon a metal plate. Drypoint etching is prized for its "burr", which is the metal shaving turned up at the side of the furrow. This catches the ink and prints with a richness that adds to the directness of the artist's work. The burr is unfortunately crushed easily and limits the number of impressions that can be taken.
