Xylographilia
Announcement
Fellow HPLHS members, I'm also an Eldritch Elf, if I am mailing a gift out for you, and I know it's an EE gift, I'll include a bonus sticker for your recipient.
Shop will be closed 1/1/23-2/28/23
Due to Germany's LUCID ID law as of July 1st I will no longer be able to ship to Germany. Unfortunately the cost of complying with LUCID ID is far too much for a business as small as mine.

About Xylographilia
Inside Xylographilia
Xylographilia is a combination of the word "xylograph" (literally "wood-writing") and the suffix "-philia" (meaning "love"), translates to "the love of woodcut" and was coined to capture the nature of the merchandise sold here. In addition to hand-pulled woodcut prints, you'll also find authentic wood veneer postcards and bookmarks, and other items featuring my art. Most of my subject matter is influenced by historic styles of printmaking, imagery drawn from folklore, dreams, and esoteric traditions.
My printmaking process blends traditional and modern tools with European and Japanese techniques, and every one of my fine art prints is printed by hand in small editions on cotton-rag paper or animal parchment. Although my woodcut process is always being refined, precision and technical control are constants. The main challenge is to adhere to these values while still leaving room for a certain amount of spontaneity.

BFK Rives, my paper of choice is made in France (I am on the lookout for a domestic printing paper, but so far nothing I've tried suits my style).
