Linkage: Relief Printing Resources

I’ve become, erm, somewhat obsessed with traditional printmaking methods of late. I’m not sure what it is about the medium that I find so fascinating–you’d think the concept of multiple reproductions would be less compelling than one-off, original pieces of art, but prints are just…yummy. I hear The Complete Printmaker is the printing book to purchase, so I’ll be nabbing that this week, thanksverymuch.

Here’s a round-up of relief-printing-related links I’ve bookmarked:
