WOODBLOCKS

Woodblock printmaking is a relief process, achieved by carving into a block of wood. Pine or poplar wood are casily obtained and good to work upon. The tools include, knives, chisels and gouges. Since this is a relief process the tools that cut into the block define the non printed areas. The uncut areas receive the paint. a perfect printmaking technique as no press is needed, only your wood, knives, ink and a baren or a spoon. The paper is placed on the block and rubbed with the baren or spoon.
