Woodcut
Woodcut, the earliest printmaking technique, is a relief process which involves carving a design onto the surface of a wooden block.
Woodcut is a printmaking method that entails creating an image by carving into a wooden block using tools like chisels, gouges, and knives. Ink is applied to the raised areas of the image, which are then printed onto paper. The cutaway or recessed areas remain blank on the printed paper. Woodcuts can be printed using a press or by hand, where a spoon or a similar tool is used to rub the back of the paper for the printing process.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
