Mezzotint Printmaking: a Tool demonstration and guide

This video highlights the different tools used to create a mezzotint print (a form of Intaglio printmaking). I show how to setup proper lighting and prepare a copper plate. I then go through using a scraper tool, burnisher, engraving sandbag, and finally a print showing the results.
