Woodblock Prints
Woodcut printing is a traditional printmaking technique where an image is carved into the surface of wood, with the raised areas inked and pressed onto paper or fabric to create prints. The process involves cutting away the non-image areas, relieving the design. This technique dates back to ancient times and was widely used for illustrations in books and art prints during the Renaissance and beyond. It produces bold, high-contrast images with a distinctive, textured appearance that’s making a comeback in the form of poster advertisements and art.
Linocut Prints
Linocut printing is a modern relief printmaking technique similar to woodcut, but it uses a linoleum block instead of wood. The artist carves the design into the linoleum, then applies ink to the raised surface and presses it onto paper or fabric. Linocut allows for fine details and smoother lines, making it popular for both fine art prints and illustrations. It produces bold, graphic images with a distinctive, textured quality. Commission pieces can be done upon request.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a versatile and durable printing technique that involves transferring ink onto a surface—such as paper, fabric, or other materials—through a mesh screen. The design is created by blocking out areas of the screen to allow ink to pass through only the parts that form the design, while the unblocked areas remain blank. This process is repeated with different screens for each color in the design, resulting in vibrant, crisp images that are perfect for high-quality, handmade products like cards, posters, and apparel.
