Printmaking by Hand on the Bay

Relief plates, hand proofing and small presses: the printed surface as it is pulled, checked and editioned in shoreline studios.

Ink rollers and cut linoleum blocks arranged on a proofing press, one white sheet lifted to show a crisp black impression
(120 à 150 mots : ce que cette pratique couvre sur ce rivage, et ce que le lecteur y trouvera).

In this section

    Proofing by hand, notes from the press

    From cut block to pulled sheet: the proofing routine of a small shoreline press, documented impression by impression.

The reference every workroom keeps within arm's reach is our What the tide leaves. Two neighboring workrooms extend this one: Plein Air and Ceramics.
