Examples of Relief Printmaking can be found hanging on the walls at Unique Jewelry. These original and Celtic-inspired designs are transferred from drawings and sketched directly on a wood or linoleum block. The image is carved out, in reverse, using small gouges and knives.
Ink is spread onto the completed block with a soft rubber roller, or brayer.
Paper is placed carefully on top of the inked block and the entire surface is gently, but firmly, rubbed with a wooden spoon to transfer the print. No machinery or press is used. Each print is individually hand-rubbed in a limited edition, signed and numbered by the artist.
