Making Woodblock Prints<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

112-page paperback book by Merlyn Chesterman and Rod Nelson.<\/p>\n

\"Making<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Woodblock printing is an ancient art form, a type of relief printing that produces beautiful, subtle and lively pieces with just a few simple materials. This book includes helpful information for new printmakers and ideas for those practitioners wanting to improve their technique. A wide range of exciting examples of printed woodcuts are shown along with advice on materials and tools, and a step-by-step guide to sharpening. Each chapter introduces a particular process of core knowledge and includes several alternative methods for each. Techniques to achieve quality prints and perfect registration are covered, too. The great close-up photos really help you see what they are teaching you about.<\/p>\n

In addition to the technical teaching there is a lot of inspiration in this book. Drawing on the vibrant living traditions from China and Japan, it is filled with beautiful images of woodblock prints from a variety of artists.<\/p>\n
