Woodcutting, like linocut, is a relief printing technique. The texture of the wood requires a different cutting method and the result carries the special characteristics of the wood texture.
During this course you will work with various methods, including eventually the “lost material technique. In this reduction technique, all the printing passes are cut out of one sheet of wood with different chisels. This requires careful preparation: the print run and colors must be determined in advance.
