Relief printing is a process consisting of cutting or etching a printing surface in such a way that all that remains of the original surface is the design to be printed. The raised areas of the printing surface are inked and printed, while the areas that have been cut away do not pick up the ink.  Many great masters have used this technique to create their own designs: Gustave Doré, Gauguin, Vallotton, Munch, etc. This handbook will introduce you to this technique, with step-by-step instructions featuring many explanatory photos, so that you can understand the different variations of each technique and get started!
