1, 2, 3 color woodblocks so far for the "OVERLOOK"! Plus the key block makes 4 (the key is the detail block, printed in a dark tone, see that on our site). Shouldn't be long & we'll be headed to press to begin the process of inking & proofing! Size of this print will be about 44" tall by 28" wide, bleed off the paper edges.
Everything we make is totally handmade, drawn & carved & printed by hand. This process takes time, but yields really dramatic results! The blocks above will be carved even more as the print develops on press. An additional 4th color block will be carved to add even more rich color tone after we see these three above proofed together with the key.
Penning in rainbow color as we imagine up a world lush with greenery, brick, stone & log for the new "COMMUNITY" woodcut. The blocks above are being carved in low relief and will then be rolled up and inked for printing to paper. These are not the final colors of the print, these are color separations that guide our block making. The black detail block will be the last to print, atop all of the layers of printed color, to complete the print.
"COMMUNITY" will be 16" x 20" on Ivory Somerset Paper. Printed with a 1" white border around the print. Currently up for grabs at a special pre-order rate!
And on Friday, May 30th, from 4:00-7pm we're hosting a special Happy Hour Open Studios here at the printshop to celebrate the completion of the "COMMUNITY" woodcut edition! This print is currently in production, but pre-orders will be ready for local pick-up during open hours & with a festive atmosphere to boot. RSVP stopping by & please freely share the date!
