What is block printing what is origin and growth?
== == Block printing is the art of printing with a plate made by carving an image into a block of...well, something. You can use a potato, a block of wood, a sheet of linoleum...the possibilities are endless. They've found examples of block print from Mesopotamia that date to 3000 BC. One very important advantage of block printing is that it can be done without a press. As far as growth...the scrapbooking movement made this process really take off over the last few years. Scrapbookers LOVE rubber stamps, which are a form of block printing. I also consider flexography to be a form of block printing--its plates have raised, reversed images just like a printing woodblock does--and flexo is going great guns. And people still carve printing blocks as a form of artistic expression...so block is safe as a printing process.

What materials did printmakers use?
A block starts out as a planed slice of shesham wood. The design is traced on to the wood's planed surface. The wood is then chiseled to the depth of a third of an inch. Tiny holes are drilled in areas intended for the application of flat color. These holes are stuffed with cotton at the time of printing to ensure an even application of color. Block printing was invented in China during the T'ang dynasty. In block printing, pictures or words are carved into a block of wood. Then ink is applied and the image is pressed onto a piece of paper.
