Here at the height of summer there are hints of fall. One of the new prints for this year is about that ever present flow of seasons. Originally appearing in Antler, Bear, Canoe, this is the first time this panorama has been done with full color woodblocks. The original key block from 1990 was used along with several newly cut color blocks. Betsy and Jeremy printed an edition of 250, paper size 10 x 20 inches.

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting and welcome to the new-look woodcut.com! This is our first major re-design since going online in March 1997. We're not finished with all the digital housecleaning and renovations yet but please feel free to poke around. Click "more" to see some photos of the studio/gallery and learn about what's ahead for woodcut.com.

The online store will soon be integrated with the current site, but for now you can still access the old online store here and securely place orders for everything including cards, calendars, prints and books. We'll be sure to update with new prints as they roll off the presses, so be sure to check in often to see what's new!

There is a new photo slide show of how Betsy makes a woodcut to update the previous photo story from 1997. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

The new studio and gallery at 301 First Avenue West is busy with music, new exhibitions, puppet-making, performances and of course printmaking. We're enjoying the building that was the Lutheran church in 1903, the Grand Marais Playhouse in 1972 and now Betsy Bowen Studio. Please drop by to have a look!
