Any little scrap of wood instantly became a little print. It might be a fi shing lure, or a fanciful gadget, but it was an inspiration to see such productivity, and the prints are little gems.

Called “xylographic printing,” it was used before Gutenberg for illustrations, playing cards, and small documents. Moveable type allowed corrections and editing. A wood engraving uses the end grain, where a wood cut uses the plank grain. Polymer plates are made from digital files which drive special engraving machines to produce relief plates. These plates are popular with many of today’s letterpress printers who produce invitations, and collectible prints. Metal relief cylinders were used to print repetitive designs, such as those on wrap - ping paper and wall paper. In the 1930s, the invention of cellophane led to the development of the anilox roller and flexographic printing. Today, flexography prints most of the flexible packaging film which accounts for about half of all packaged products. Hobbyists, artists, and printmakers cut away non-printing areas on sheets of linoleum to create relief surfaces. Wood cut Wood engraving and Metal plate Relief cylinder Flexographic plate Linoleum cut Foundry type began with Gutenberg and evolved through Jenson, Garamond, Moveable type Caslon and many others. Garamond was the first printer to cast type that was sold to other printers. By the 1880s there were almost 80 foundries in the U.S. One newspaper could keep one foundry in business. Machine typesetting changed the status quo and the Linotype had an almost immediate effect on type foundries. Twenty-three foundries formed American Type Founders in 1890.

  • Interview with Wood Engraver, Pete Lawrence
    #NWConnect: Interview with wood engraver, Pete Lawrence Kimberly Glassman (KG): Hello everyone! We have Pete Lawrence here from the Society ​ of Wood Engravers to talk to us about his work and the work of the Society in general. Pete was introduced to the Society of Wood Engravers (SWE) when he started helping hang their annual exhibitions in the 1980s. In 1991 he began his own engravings and joined as a subscriber in the mid-1990s. He was then elected as a member in 1997 and joined the SWE as a designer in 1998, and then finally became a chairman from 2006 until 2011. We are very excited to have you, so thank you Pete for agreeing to do this podcast with us! Pete Lawrence (PL): Thank you for inviting me. ​ KG: No worries! So, just to start, can you please tell us about your practice as a wood ​ ​ engraver and maybe explain a bit more about the process of wood engraving and what it is? PL: Yes, wood engraving is a unique form of producing a print - an image on paper. It goes ​ back to the times in the 1780s-1790s when, who we like to call the ‘founding father of wood engraving’, Thomas Bewick, was working up in Newcastle. He realised that, although his ​ ​ boss Ralph Beilby was working on metal engraving with very sharp tools, he could engrave ​ ​ on boxwood and produce a very fine image, which would replicate the kind of detail that you get by working on metal. So if you could imagine, it gave the effect of metal tools used to do silversmithing and copper engraving, but working on the end grain of boxwood.

  • Printmaking – Woodcut Design Name:______
    PRINTMAKING – WOODCUT DESIGN NAME:___________ Woodcut and wood engraving, prints are made from designs cut in relief on wood (subtractive process), in contrast to copper or steel engraving and etching (which are intaglio). Woodcuts are relief prints. The design is drawn on the surface of a wooden block or plank. The areas that are to be blank are cut away, leaving raised the design that is to be printed. Ink is then rolled or daubed over the raised area. A sheet of paper is placed on top of the block and pressed against it, either in a press or by hand. This pressure transfers the ink to the paper. Since the print is the mirror image of the design on the block, the image must be conceived in reverse. A rubber stamp is a common example of a relief printing process. Woodcutting, the oldest method of printmaking, is accomplished using soft wood with a knife employed along the grain. Concert Poster Design STEP ONE: Decide on one of the following choices for your woodcut design: • Poster Advertisement (Upcoming Performance) • Portrait: Human or Animal • Landscape (Look at reverse for art history of woodcuts) STEP TWO: Begin by making a series of at least 3 conceptual sketches in your sketchbook on your chosen theme. CONSIDER: Positive/negative space, contrast, line and overall composition. STEP THREE: Drawing the reverse outline of your subject matter on the flat top of the piece of wood. REMEMBER: to draw the outline of any text backwards as the print will print front wards. Carefully consider how you design your positive/negative space.

He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Manchester; however, he decided to pursue literary interests and published a book of poems in As the demand for quality illustrations grew, Thomas Bewick, who was trained as an engraver, created the technique of etching in wood, and as a result wood engraving replaced steel engraving. He was the general editor for the annual Fine Prints of the Year from to , which was one of the few directories-although with noted inconsistencies-in which artist, title, and edition size of every etching plate created each year was documented. This invention allowed various engravers to work on individual sections of an illustration, which were pulled together after completion and finished so that the joints of the individual blocks did not appear on the page. Yet there was little contemporary encouragement for those choice productions, and the regular publishers, profiting not at all by the executive example of Ricketts and Shannon, Sturge Moore and Pissarro, or by Morris's co-operative enthusiasm, continued to regard wood-engraving as only a reproductive method which had been entirely replaced by the photographic zinco-processes of modern usage.

  • Somerset Application Brochure
    TRADITIONAL PRINTMAKING PAPER Printmaking is an artistic process that is steeped in both history as well as tradition. The range of tech- niques adopted by today’s Printmakers, range from the time-honoured traditions to techniques that incorporate digital technologies of the 21st century. St Cuthberts Mill, based in England, has been making paper since the 1700s. Today, the Somerset range of mould made papers are crafted at St Cuthberts Mill by a team of master paper- makers, to the very highest archival quality. Somerset is made with 100% cotton which is not only archival, when damp it is also flexible, malleable and conforms readily to the surface of the printing plate, allowing the ink to pass to the paper. The surface has an elegant, soft texture and is strong and stable enough to ensure excellent colour printing. The paper remains flat after printing and offers durability and long life to finished editions of work. St Cuthberts Mill prides itself on making Somerset with consistency of surface and shade across different makings of paper. Charlotte Biszewski, Existential Elephant, 2014 The range has been developed to meet the exacting requirements of different printmaking techniques. • Mould made • Acid Free & archival • 100% cotton • Deckle edges • Watermarked* • Lightfast shades • Calcium carbonate buffered • Dimensionally stable Richard Webb, Untitled, 2015 Jon McNaught, Untitled, 2014 • Consistent quality An individual paper can enhance the aesthetic properties of the printed image by contributing“ “ its own character.
