Making Japanese Woodblock Prints
£10.90£12.30 (-11%)
Japanese woodblock printing is a beautiful art that traces its roots back to the eighth century. It uses a unique system of registration, cutting and printing. This practical book explains the process from design drawing to finished print, and then introduces more advanced printing and carving techniques, plus advice on editioning your prints and their aftercare, tool care and sharpening. Supported by nearly 200 colour photographs, this new book advises on how to develop your ideas, turning them into sketches and a finished design drawing, then how to break an image into the various blocks needed to make a print. It also explains how to use a tracing paper transfer method to take your design from drawing to woodblock and, finally, explains the traditional systems of registration, cutting and printing that define an authentic Japanese woodblock.

This book very neatly condenses a rather overwhelming subject into understandable sections.
Laura is a masterful teacher and obviously passionate about woodblock carving and watercolour printing.

Japanese woodblock printing is a complicated and daunting process. This book explains everything you need to know, from planning an image, how to use tools and equipment, and the techniques required, with plenty of helpful illustrations. I’m now putting the advice into practice and enjoying it thoroughly.

Excellent introduction to woodcuts. Lots of practical guidance for the novice. Brilliant complement to all the videos that Laura has put on You Tube.
