We will use the most traditional method is composed of fine particles of ground pine rosin. We use a state of the arts aquatint box designed and built by Ward Walker for applying dust. The dust is melted creating a ground that is not solid like a hard ground. The acid bites around the particles, creating a tooth in the plate to hold ink.

In this workshop we will explore a variety of ways to make tones using soft- ground, burnishing, litho crayons, sugar lift and spitbite

Hints for wiping a plate and registration guides also included in workshop.
