I am fascinated by wood engraving art, a relief printing technique, and have been every since the fifth grade at Bloomfield Middle School (the old high school building) and reading "The Beatinest Boy" by Jesse Stuart which contained several woodcuts and engravings for illustrations. The work by Clare Leighton (United Kingdom, 1901-1989) has long been profoundly moving to me, too. Her engravings appear in The Time of Man (University Press of Kentucky) by the late Springfield, KY author Elizabeth Madox Roberts. Andy English in the United Kingdom has a blog and website devoted to his tremendous work in wood engraving. Both sites are very helpful and informative. Click here for Andy's awesome blog.
