Block printing is a centuries-old art form first practiced in Japan, China, India, Korea, and elsewhere. It can be used to create fine art prints, illustrations, greeting cards, gift wrapping, posters, advertisements, and numerous other graphic works on paper. It can be done on fabric as well. While many block prints have a distinctive look and spirit, they can vary widely, from simple and bold to delicate and filigreed. Traditionally, blocks for printing have been carved from wood, but they can also be created from linoleum, which is relatively inexpensive and readily available.
