We toured some printmaker studios this past weekend during the Santa Cruz Open Gallery weekend.
It's incredibly fascinating how people are making art prints. Most are doing linoleum blocks.
Quite a few are doing a subtractive method where they use one block that they carve away for each color layer. That means however many prints they start with is all they'll ever make of that exact design
Even the folks who have multiple blocks only do at most 50 prints before the blocks are too smooshed
