Stone Rubbing & Woodblock - 868
AD
Woodblock printing is the oldest printmaking technique, it originated
in China. In woodblock the initial stages were the techniques of cutting or
shaping stamps and seals. The most important precondition for the development
of woodblock printmaking was the creation of paper which dates to 105 AD in China. The first
early "printmaking" technique was stone rubbing. Stones, engraved with calligraphies, were
closely covered with humid paper. When the paper was dry, ink was spread onto
it, leaving the engraved parts white. Stone Rubbing - 868 AD
