Disclosed herein is a method of making a dry point engraving. To do so a soft base (100) in which an artist may readily and with a minimum amount of pressure make an artistic creation is used. Applied to the surface of the base is a composition (102) which will take the shape of the surface and is removable therefrom. When removed it presents a mirror image of the base surface. The composition is then coated with a film of electrically conductive material and immersed in an electroplating bath. Here it is plated with metal. Once removed from the bath, the metal is removed from the composition, it having the same representation of the surface of the soft material originally worked on by the artist.
