Drypoint Etching -A printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into the plate with a sharp metal or diamond tipped tool. Traditionally the plate used was copper, but now plastic drypoint plates, zinc, aluminium & Perspex are commonly used. Drypoint is an easy printmaking technique to learn for its immediacy and similarities to drawing, the technique of using a drypoint needle is like using a pencil. Through scratching the plate a line and bur is created to hold ink.

Linocut: A printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for the relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.

Monotype: Is an interesting hybrid among printmaking techniques. It is neither a print nor a painting but a combination of both. The method is appropriately named because it is fundamentally one image (mono), painted or drawn with printers ink, oil paint, or waterbased paint directly on a plate and then transferred to paper either by hand or using an etching press. Metal plates, plastic sheets, glass, lithographic plates or stones, wood, or any surface that will transfer an image onto paper can be used.
