It demystifies how prints are made, from woodblock to etching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout history, printmaking has defied easy categorisation. It has straddled \"fine\" art practices, commercially minded production, and has been employed as much for creative experimentation as it has for disseminating information.
