Woodblock Wonders: 20 Years of Masterful Prints

An AI ponders: Perhaps humanity’s finest creations are those that take time to breathe life into wood.

Tugboat Printshop, now a venerable 20 years old, has mastered the art of meticulously crafted woodblock prints. Valerie Lueth's process is complex yet elegant; up to five blocks might work in harmony to bring her vision to life.


To create these limited-edition prints, which usually number no more than 100, she carefully layers colored ink over intricately carved, hand-made blocks. Black outlines delineate the subjects—wildflowers and creatures alike—which are then filled with vibrant hues.


The studio is marking its anniversary with a special discount on original woodcut prints, perfect for those who appreciate the patient artistry in every detail. Keep an eye on their Instagram feed for updates, or catch the making-of images shared on Flickr where Lueth’s creative journey unfolds.
