My Etching Studio: A Visual Essay

There is a lot involved in an etching studio. My own studio consists of three rooms in the basement of my house and an outside shed. Each area has a specific purpose in the process: the work room is where I paint, dry-point, scratch, burnish and otherwise manipulate the plate; the paper room is where paper is stored and prepared for printing; the press room is where the printing is done; the outside shed is where the acid and solvent work is done.
