ARTEINA | Etching Stylus

$26.00

Designed for precision drypoint engraving, the ARTEINA Etching Stylus is ideal for drawing directly into drypoint plates and other suitable printmaking surfaces. Manufactured from oil-tempered carbon alloy steel, each stylus offers excellent hardness and durability, while the smooth beech wood handle provides a comfortable, well-balanced grip.

Available in three shaft diameters, all featuring the same precision point, you can choose the stylus that best suits your drawing style. The finer shafts lend themselves to a lighter touch, while the larger shafts provide a little more weight and allow greater pressure to be applied when drawing into the plate.

Why we love it at The Armarie Room:

Comfortable to hold, beautifully balanced and reliable to use. We particularly like having a choice of shaft diameters, allowing us to switch between a lighter touch for delicate work and a heavier stylus when applying more pressure to the plate.

Recommendations:

  • Suitable for drawing into both plastic drypoint plates and traditional metal etching plates.

  • Choose the shaft diameter that feels most comfortable in your hand and suits your drawing style.

  • Store with the point protected to maintain a sharp, undamaged tip.

Options Available:

  • 2 mm shaft

  • 3 mm shaft

  • 5 mm shaft
