Question
Can you please give me a run down on the process of woodblock print making? Meaning names of processes involved also. Thank you

Answer
cut the block with wood gouges
ink the block with a brayer
print the image on rice paper or thin handmade cotton paper (Chinese paper), using a baren/barin to transfer the image to the paper

Not at the moment, but in the future, I will have photos of part of the process on my page of woodblocks.  The page is linked from my main art page at http://AliMcJ.tripod.com/index.html
