These can be used to cut out the areas that are not to be covered in printing ink later. Once the wood block is finished, it is evenly covered with ink and a sheet of wood printing paper is placed on it. The print is made by rubbing against it using a burnishing bone or a printing press.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"K\u00fcnstlerische Drucktechniken: Holzschnitt\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ymN7Uw9R0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Watch how a woodcut is made in this video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kaethe-kollwitz-digital.de\/en\/permanent-exhibition\/memorial-grieving-parents\/\">Previous Post: The First World War &#8211; &#8216;Mourning Parents&#8217; Memorial<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kaethe-kollwitz-digital.de\/en\/the-twenties\/\">Next Post: The Twenties<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kaethe-kollwitz-digital.de\/en\/tour-permanent-exhibition\/\">Back to table of contents<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of the 14th century, the first sheets were produced using this printing technique.
