Great resource and reading Yolanda Great resource and reading! Well put together all around with information very accessible and great images with text to help describe processes etc. Love this and am using it for our text in Relief Printmaking this year. Thank you Merlyn Chesterton! Another jewel for us printmakers, teachers, collectors, and everyone else.. Ernest A. Mizell said Excellent Introduction to Woodblock Printmaking. Very well written, detailed information, lots of photos, an excellent resource. My only complaint is they spent a bit more time and pages on obscure Chinese printing techniques that seem beyond the scope and probably desire of people just learning the craft.. "Beautiful! Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing" according to Cheryl. Beautiful! Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in the art of woodblock print making. The authors take the reader step by step through the process, augmenting along the way with an abundance of helpful photos and finished prints.
