PRINTERESTING paperblog BibliOdyssey Books étapes Encyclopedia of Woodblock Printmaking : Step by step through a simple print Design: 8:30 AM ~ : The first step is of course to create the design. This print is very simple, and was easily sketched in a few minutes, with a drafting pen on plain white paper. Registration marks: 8:40 AM: Once the 'sen-gaki' (outline drawing) is ready, the location of the registration marks is carefully drawn in. They appear here at the bottom of the drawing, with the corner mark at the left side - this orientation will be reversed when the hanshita (the block copy) is pasted face-down on the woodblock later. Preparing the 'hanshita' (the block copy): 8:45 AM: It would be possible to simply paste this sheet of paper face down on the block and start carving, but I much prefer using a thin Japanese paper. Pasting the hanshita: Back from the copy shop, and ready to paste the copied hanshita down. Pasting the hanshita: Down goes the hanshita (face down) , still attached to its backing sheet. Key block carving: 10:00 AM ~ The carving begins. Time for lunch!
