Did you know that #WoodblockPrinting is one of the oldest printing methods, originating in China around 200AD? 🤔 🇨🇳 This technique involves carving a design into wood, inking the raised areas, and pressing paper or fabric onto it to transfer the image. It was revolutionary for allowing designs to be quickly and accurately replicated. Although it started in China, Woodblock Printing didn’t catch on in Europe until the 1400s, over a thousand years later. #PrintingFacts #ThePrintingCharity #PeopleInPrint #WoodblockPrinting
