A 90-minute video of making a batch of woodblock prints “from blank paper to finished print” from the printer’s POV. Relaxing & ASMR-adjacent.

I was browsing online auctions the other day and noticed these Sabra Field wood blocks (Vermont artist!) from her printing process for sale
In some ways those seem cooler to have than the prints. The entire process of wood block printmaking just seems like an archaic and manual version of photoshop layers to my modern mind.
Thank you for this! I majored in printmaking (I regret nothing! Kind of.) and I'm still just guessing how some of this printing is happening... despite watching it with my own eyes. I guess the closest thing I'd compare it to is watching an F1 driver narrowly miss a barrier by an inch lap after lap after lap.
