Massive Woodcut Prints Are Dense Scenes Telling Dreamy Stories

Founded by artist Valerie Leuth, the Pittsburgh-based studio specializes in complex designs full of dreamy

Las criaturas del bosque se asoman detrás de los troncos de los árboles y una corriente de agua se precipita a través de un paisaje denso y boscoso en el último grabado en madera de Valerie Lueth para Tugboat Printshop.

“River” utiliza cuatro paneles tallados en capas en una composición de colores vivos superpuestos. Actualmente un trabajo en progreso y casi terminado, la escena detallada presenta un follaje intrincado y un puñado de estrellas en todo el cielo y el paisaje.

“River” está disponible para pre-pedido en el website de Tugboat Printshop, y puedes seguir más actualizaciones en Instagram.

“Moth” - Woodcut Carving & Printmaking Process  - by Paul Roden & Valerie Lueth At Tugboat Printshop

Making Woodcuts The woodcuts produced at T.B.P.S. are traditionally hand-crafted, quality artworks on paper. Prints are published directly from hand-drawn & hand-carved woodblock(s) to archival papers using top-shelf, oil-based inks.

Prints begin as pencil sketches on plywood blocks. The wooden blocks are hand-carved in low relief using gouging tools & knives. A unique handling of woodcut process has evolved in Tugboat’s artistic practice. Age-old academic printmaking techniques pair with youthful, folky inventiveness. Multiple blocks are drawn & carved to make Tugboat’s full color artworks.

Blocks impressions overlay to build the image on the paper’s surface, ink layer by ink layer. Most of the final woodcut prints are made by a 4-block print on Ivory Somerset Paper

A layer of oil-based ink is applied by roller or brayer. Paper is placed on the inked block, which is then hand-cranked through a printing press. The roller’s pressure evenly stamps ink from the block to the paper, creating the printed impression. Doing this multiple times creates the edition!

Woodcut makes a very distinct printed image, quite different than a screenprint or digital (giclée) print. Because they are printed directly from the block, the woodgrain of the block’s surface is a visible element in the finished printed image. Crispness & clarity of line is sharp, without pixelation or distortion. Each print pulled from a woodblock is, in some nuanced way, original :)
