 She showed slides of her Plainfield, VT studio. |
 Mrs. Azarian uses wood from Japan for her carvings. |
 She prints on very thin Japanese paper made from vegetable fibers. |
 Here, she squeezes acrylic paint onto plexiglass. |
 Mrs. Azarian rolls a brayer on the plexiglass. |
 This is a closer view of the brayer. |
 Next, she rolls the paint onto the woodcut. |
 She places a piece of paper on the inked woodcut and then rubs the paint onto the paper. |
 Here is the print. |
 The students asked lots of wonderful questions. |
 This is the "dummy" of one of her books. A dummy is a rough copy of a book from the printer. |
 Mrs. Azarian sometimes adds watercolor to her prints. |
| We all learned so much
from Mary Azarian about creating a woodblock print, as
well as how books are produced. Thanks goes out to the Orchard School PTO for sponsoring this wonderful event. |
