What is Printmaking?
[[Image:Katsushika Hokusai - Fine Wind, Clear Morning (Gaifū kaisei) - Google Art Project.jpg|thumb|150px|[[Mount Fuji]], from the ''Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'' by [[Katsushika Hokusai]]]] '''Printmaking''' is making art by [[printing]] pictures, normally on [[paper]]. The advantage of printmaking is that lots of the same picture can be printed. This is called a print. Each print is not a copy, but an original, since it came from the same [[source]] (not like [[paint]]ing or [[draw]]ing).You can also use different types of techniques to start the print. == Materials == Pictures for prints can be cut into plates of metal, usually [[copper]] or [[zinc]] for [[engraving]] or [[etching]]; stone, used for [[lithography]]; blocks of wood for [[woodcut]]s, linoleum for [[linocut]]s and fabric plates for [[screen-printing]]. Prints may also be [[publish]]ed in books by the artist. == Other websites == * [http://www.meyerovich.com/info/glossary.html A glossary for modern prints ] * [http://www.bodkinprints.co.uk/links.php Large list of links to museum etc. online images of prints] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160823091108/http://www.bodkinprints.co.uk/links.php |date=2016-08-23 }} * [http://www.unittwentyfive.com/ UnitTwentyFive London Based Print Studio ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080917090055/http://www.unittwentyfive.com/ |date=2008-09-17 }} {{stub}} [[Category:Printmaking| ]]
