Crowood Press

I was commissioned by Crowood Press to write a book on Japanese Woodcut at the beginning of 2022. I finished my book a year and a half later it's called "Japanese Woodcut: Traditional techniques and Contemporary Practice". Due out in January 2024. It covers the history of Japanese Woodcut, materials and equipment,how to get started through to advanced techniques and finishes with a section on Contemporary practitioners from around the world.

The advance copy for my book came just before Christmas.
