Relief Engraving and Printmaking The Tortoise Block

This short video shows the entire process of making a relief engraving on a block of Resingrave, from initial sketch to actual engraving to printing the final edition. A Resingrave block is a synthetic material that is a great substitute for end-grain boxwood (traditionally used for wood engraving but very expensive). I buy my blocks and tools from McClains Printmaking Supply: http://www.imcclains.com/catalog/bloc... Other supplies I am using are a Conrad E-15 Etching Press, Black oil-based relief ink from Graphic Chemical, and Zerkall Book Weight Paper. The registration tabs I use are called Ternes-Burton Pins and Strips, which can be found HERE: https://www.dickblick.com/brands/tern... The wooden jig that holds the blocks and paper on the pressbed is something a friend of mine made to custom fit my press. It is basically a simple frame with a cross piece attached to a thinner plywood. I hope to make a future video on how to make one. “TORTOISE!” was printed in a limited edition of 75 S&N prints. They are available in our Etsy shop HERE: https://www.etsy.com/listing/59929666...
