These are stunning and made in just two days? What kind of wood and tools were used? How can one participate in attending such a wonderful workshop?

[@BIGINK]

The printing occurs over a weekend, but participants have months to carve their woodblocks in the lead up. Visit www.bigink.org and click on any of the open workshops to see more information on how to participate. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you!

Beautiful!!! Can you tell me what the little stamp with the light flashed on it is...?

[@epicfail5707]

The light is UV and cures (Dries) what the little stamp put on the print. Probably an authentic mark.

[@BIGINK]

The stamp is our logo, and we use it as a mark of authentication on each print. The ink we use is only visible under UV light. Thank you for commenting!

@@BIGINK Thank you for posting your video. It was wonderful to see what you were doing.

¿qué finalidad tiene el uso de la linterna durante el entintado? gracias, saludos

[@epicfail5707]

La luz es UV y cura (Seca) lo que el sello puso en la impresión. Probablemente una marca auténtica.

[@BIGINK]

We use a flashlight to better see the shine of the ink on the surface of the wood.
