Wood Engraving

A couple of weeks ago we had a print demonstration of wood engraving techniques. I have been very interested in this techniques for some time. I particularly like the work of David Gentleman and Clare Leighton (see below).

 I have been experimenting with a small bock of lemon wood to create an oak leaf and acorn motif.


I need to work on the technique a lot more but I would like to create a series of these blocks that could be used by visitors to my exhibition to print their own impressions of Moseley. This would be a good way of engaging people in some print based activities without having to have a press available.
