5. Jim Horton, Wood Engraver

Wood engraving is a relief image making process that was developed in the mid 1800’s to accompany the printed word. Jim Horton fell in love with wood engraving before he even knew how it was crafted. He tells the story of his discovery, and where it has lead him. We talk about the Wood Engraver’s Network and teaching the craft, about the value of the process and shifts culture, and about his newest project.
