Woodblock printing on old maps

Best Made shows us how it's done.

Yeah, okay, so by now you probably understand that we’re kind of obsessed with Best Made Company. And we know we’ve already posted about their woodblock prints made onto vintage maps (twice, in fact).

But THIS is a VIDEO. It’s a lovely little glimpse into a process that requires ink, paper, wood and a pair of able hands. Printmaking at its essence. Couldn’t help but share. Watch it below.
