This gorgeous new book by Anne Desmet aims to engage both beginners and more experienced practitioners with the processes and possibilities – orthodox and otherwise – of the art and craft of engraving on end-grain woodblocks to produce original, handmade prints of amazing diversity and finesse. Exploring, in particular, the medium’s great potential for creating images in light, the reader is supported on their own creative path with plenty of step-by-step guidance, top tips and user-friendly ideas and advice.

The book facilitates a lively personal engagement by the reader who will be empowered to take up this historic medium and make it their own.
