Woodblock Printings

Block printing is a relief printing technique that uses a carved material like wood, linoleum, or rubber to transfer ink onto fabric or paper. The block serves as a stamp, with the final product resulting in a mirror image of the carving.

Woodblock prints can range from small images intended to be repeated in a pattern to large works of art that require a large printing press to print. In the past, these were also used to print entire books.

Depending on the size of the knife and the quality of the material, it’s possible to capture a fine degree of detail in each print. However, since the process is generally done by hand, no two prints are ever the same.
