Barry Moser Wood Engraving Workshop

Barry Moser, renowned illustrator and wood engraver, visited Seattle in 1982 and gave a lecture and demonstration. The Book Arts Guild sponsored it, and the University of Washington made a videotape. Bill Ritchie, a professor at that time, edited it for his classes and, 30 years later, digitized it for the Ritchie Video Archive.

He is a model teacher and producer - I am grateful to have met him and made this video a staying power. He's 80 this year! Thank you for the comment. - B

Thanks for sharing this! I'm a screen printer, born in 1982, who is beginning to dabble in other printing techniques. Very cool to come across this video shot in the year of my birth.

Aaron, I missed this, but I'm glad you found it and, yes, things happen in our interesting field.

Is there a document available with a list of the tools Barry Moser uses in this ?

[@BillRitchie]

There are standard textbooks on wood engraving and other kinds of engraving and they will always show and list the tools like the ones in this video. Check the website for E. C. Lyons and E. C. Mueller for availability. Thanks for asking, and let me know if this helped.
