Reduction print is a single-block multi-color method. It is also known as elimination printing. This is achieved by gradually cutting away the wood block after printing each color stage. All colors are printed out of one block, which is re-carved for each color. Thus, the original block is destroyed during creation, and copies beyond the first edition are impossible. Students will learn how to carve woodblock, layer colors of water-soluble ink, and use the registration system.
