What happens with the woodcut after you’ve made prints?
i store them away in a safe place, never to be printed again… traditionally blocks & plates are “destroyed” after editioning, but they are too precious to me and i couldn’t bring myself to do it (i actually don’t think i know anybody who does these days).
also, i’ve occasionally exhibited my blocks along with their prints, and find them quite lovely and interesting to look at!
