What's the largest woodblock print you've ever seen, carved, or printed yourself?
Here are some photos of the largest block I've ever carved!
I've been thinking a lot about scale lately and how it changes the whole process — from finding a block big enough, to managing ink coverage, to the physical effort of printing. Curious what the r/printmaking community has experienced on the larger end of the spectrum.
Did you seek out a big format intentionally, or did a project just grow beyond what you expected? How did you handle registration, pressure, and inking at that size? And if you've seen a large woodblock print in person — whether in a museum, gallery, or a fellow printmaker's studio — what made it memorable?
Photos very welcome!
