I wanted to show how little is required to do relief printing.\u00a0 In this photo is everything that is required; A block of material to carve, paper to print on, ink to print with, a hard surface (glass in this case) to roll out your ink on, a\u00a0rubber roller\u00a0and something to force contact between block and paper.\u00a0 I am using a bamboo barren but a wooden spoon can be used as well.\u00a0 And of course something to carve with.\u00a0It is a very accessible art form,\u00a0 maybe you did it as a child\u00a0cutting shapes into potatoes and using them as stamps.\u00a0 Art or craft it’s irrelevant if you enjoy creating something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
