Relief printing is a form of printmaking that cuts, carves, or etches a surface until all that remains is the design that will be printed. This is most commonly done with linoleum, wood, rubber, and metal. Relief printmaking has been used throughout history as a fine art, a craft, and way to disseminate information. Across cultures, relief printmaking has been a staple for peoples protesting injustice. Through relief printmaking, artists and activists are able to connect to broader communities and organize collectively.
