    we're doing printmaking at school right now, still working on our designs though. we're drawing japanese landscapes, photocopying them, and then ironing the images onto a woodblock. then we're carving the non-black parts out with some kind of knife and then.. well i can't remember the rest but i'm looking forward to doing it!
