Woodcutting in Belmar

Tonight was week 3 of the current woodcut class in Belmar.  My two new students were busy cutting, either using the tools I provide or some of their own.  They are making progress and should be ready to print something next week.  They asked tonight why it's so difficult to find information about woodcuts out there, or the related tools and materials, and why does the art world give them such low status?  All valid questions for which there are no good answers.  Meanwhile, Mary pulled proofs of two new blocks, first a piece of multi block image, then a really nice little print of an aardvark.  No good answer for why she decided to do that one either, but the results are impressive, so we were all happy to see it.
