"I'll give a background of the 1977 video we made, then play the DVD. You can then watch it or, at the side, watch me print an etching titled, First State: Portrait of Daniel Smith - with ink made by Daniel Smith, Inc. I'll be testing the Australian Mini Halfwood Press I made. You'll see me take the first proofs of this new etching on this new press--it'll be like you're in my studio. I'll print (no talking) as long as the video runs, then if anyone wants one, I'll sell them! Q&A follows. What Fun!" - Bill Ritchie
