Woodcut Printing
Woodcut is a type of relief printing where an artist carves an image into a wood block, usually with gouges. The parts that remain level with the surface hold the ink and create the print, while the carved-away areas don’t. The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood engraving, which uses the end-grain). Ink is applied using a ink roller (brayer), covering only the raised areas, leaving the carved sections blank.
