THE BLIND PRINT, blog for college

The blind embossed print is constructed from a die plate, and pressed onto the paper. The die is like a stencil, card board or some kind of material with a cutout region, and pressed onto the surface of a piece of paper, so the image is actually embossed onto the surface of the paper, and can be felt when you touch it. As a student in printmaking i had no idea what i was in for. I had no idea what printmaking was until i enroled in the class. Here is an example of a blind print

The image is not drawn or collored onto the paper, it is pressed onto the paper so you can feel it, this method of printmaking is where they came up with the idea for teaching blind people how to read. I really enjoyed my first printmaking project in college. I have no example to provide for you at the moment because i do not have a camera to produce a image good enough to publish.
