David Bull | Woodblock Print - start to finish (in real time) @seseragistudio | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker Dave Bull presents a recorded Twitch live stream showing the entire process of making a woodblock print, from blank block right through to the completed print, in one uncut session (over three hours).
It was recorded on January 8, 2018 in his Asakusa workshop, and illustrates the production of a design by Ichijô Narumi (1877~1910).
The video is also available here on YouTube in an edited version (about 42 minutes long):
