  • There's something magical about the centuries-old art of wood engraving, in which an artist uses the same tools used to engrave jewellery to create extraordinarily detailed prints. Anne Desmet RA is one of only three wood engravers to be elected as Academicians in the Royal Academy's nearly 250-year history. Here, she takes us through each step in creating a wood engraving, from tracing the original drawing through to printing a first proof.
    Anne Desmet RA is one of only three wood engravers to be elected as Academicians in the Royal Academy’s nearly 250-year history. She is an experienced printmaking tutor and was editor of Printmaking Today from 1998-2013. In this video, she takes us through each step in creating a wood engraving, including tips on how to use traditional tools like the diamond graver and the spitsticker.
    A signed print of San Severino Marche is available as a special edition of 40 with Anne Desmet’s new book Italian Journey: shop.royalacademy.org.uk/book...

    "Not bad" typical English understatement, I think it is excellent. Very nice work. Thank you for posting this video I found it very instructive.

    What praise can I give that no one else has?...Except maybe that so much important and helpful information is communicated so clearly in a mere 6 minutes.

Awesome video and great work!

    Thank you so much for this outstanding video. I'm trying to learn endgrain woodblock engraving, and I know of no one who does it. Proper woodblock material to engrave and information about tools and engraving technique are in short supply. This brief video is the most helpful resource I've found anywhere. Please produce more like this. Hearing the artist's voice describe what she's doing as she works is wonderful.

    Wow, I just can't say thank you enough for creating and sharing such a wonderful video. I am searching for as much information as possible that I can find on the art of wood engraving; and this video is by far the most comprehensive and helpful video I have come across. Wonderful video and spectacular wood engraving created. I would love to see more videos on wood engraving as well as other traditional printmaking techniques from Royal Academy of Arts in the future.

    • @royalacademy
