A brief History
This distinctive method of woodblock printmaking originated over a century ago with a group of six artists in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Their innovation became known as the Provincetown print, with Blanche Lazzell among its founding figures. Today, artists such as Kate Hanlon in the USA continue to explore and expand the White Line tradition.
Australian artist Cressida Campbell has developed her own variation on the technique. She begins by drawing her image onto a plywood block, then carves the design and paints it with watercolour before printing, creating her signature approach.
