Indian Goat and Elephant Designs Wood Blocks for Printing Set of 6

Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: A wooden printing block is a traditional tool used in relief printing techniques, such as woodcut and woodblock printing. It is a flat piece of wood that is carved or engraved with a design or image on its surface. The raised areas of the design are inked and then pressed onto paper or fabric to create a print. Here's how the process generally works:Design: An artist creates a design or image that they want to reproduce using a printing block.Carving: The design is then carefully carved into the surface of the wooden block using various carving tools. The areas that are meant to be blank in the final print are cut away, leaving the raised areas that will hold the ink.Inking: Ink is applied to the raised surface of the wooden block. The ink can be spread using a roller or a brush, ensuring that it covers the raised design evenly.Printing: A sheet of paper or fabric is carefully placed over the inked block. Pressure is applied, either by hand or using a press, to transfer the ink from the block onto the paper, creating a printed image.Repeating: The process can be repeated to create multiple prints from the same wooden block. However, each subsequent print may become lighter as the ink on the block gradually depletes. Wooden printing blocks have been used for centuries in various cultures around the world for creating images, patterns, and even text. They played a significant role in the history of printing and graphic arts before the advent of modern printing technologies. While newer methods have largely replaced traditional woodblock printing, it still holds a place in contemporary art and craft practices, valued for its unique and tactile qualities NOTE: Custom duty charge paid by the buyer.
