About Intro to Wood Block Printing
Woodcut, or wood block printing, is just about the world’s oldest printmaking method. Printing images and text by wood block has been around since ancient China. It was the first printmaking process, and is still done the world over in many different ways. For this introductory class, we’ll be printing with black ink on white or colored paper. It’s very basic, and yet powerful images are possible. On November 10, I will demonstrate how it’s done! In one hour, I'll show the basic process: from laying out the design, cutting the block, inking it and printing it by hand. There will be some discussion of tools, design, cutting process and printing process.
