Welcome

I have been making woodblock prints at my workshop in Lyme, NH since 1993 using the traditional Japanese hanga method. This is color woodblock printing using multiple blocks, one for each color. Water, highest quality artist pigments and rice paste are my printing materials. Brushes and a hand-held baren are my printing tools.

Here I am using my baren. Each Matt Brown print is hand-rubbed, often from 10 or more separate carved blocks.
