DVD recommendation

Holzschnitt (German)

With Christian and Ludwig Thanhäuser. In this instructional film, Christian Thanhäuser teaches all aspects of woodcutting, from the first sketch right through to the printing on Japanese paper. His 11-year-old son Ludwig already works on large formats and cycles and shows how easy it is to use carving tools and how much fun it is to play with light and shadow.
