Woodcut

I learnt how to do woodcut at the Codigo Tonal studio/ gallery in Oaxaca.

It was apparently a Japanese print artist who settled in Oaxaca who started teaching at the art school and a whole Oaxaca woodcut tradition as developed since. It was a beautiful craft to learn, although I found it tricky to keep to the very exact, methodical way of imagine making and then cutting the wood. My process was much more sketchy loose and winging it.
