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.
I'm assuming by "print artists" you mean printmakers; a term describing artists who create original prints, as opposed to artists who have reproduction prints created from their originals. Original prints usually fall into 3 broad categories: Etching and engraving (intaglio), Lithography and Screenprinting (silk screen printing or serigraphy) Many printmakers are also painters or sculptors and yet not all painters or sculptors are printmakers even though they may have prints available of their work. Here is where I would start looking:Printmaking SocietiesMost countries have printmaker's societies that hold regular exhibitions - examples of members' work can be usually found on the society's website.Printmaking studiosAs printmaking usually involves a dedicated print studio with the required presses, screens and other equipment, many printmakers will often be members of a co-operative print studio - these again can be found on the internet.Printmaking MaterialsLastly as printmaking requires more specialised materials than general art many printmaking material suppliers enjoy a special relationship with their customers and will have a links page on their websites to the artist's homepage. For an explanation of the various types of print and categories of printmaking, along with links to other printmakers and printmaking resources please see http://www.limitededitionprints.info
