1
a technique used in printmaking that involves the use of a carved wooden block to create a design or pattern on paper or fabric
Woodblock printing is a technique where an image is carved into a block of wood. The raised areas of the block are coated with ink, while the carved-out parts are left uninked. When the inked block is pressed onto paper or fabric, the design from the raised areas transfers to the surface, creating a print. This method is known for producing strong, clear images with a distinctive texture, and it is often used for artwork, posters, and textiles.
