The making of a Hermes Scarf - modern method

There's been some lively discussion on our forum regarding the old process of making Hermes scarfs using woodblocks. Found a few printmaking videos on YT that show current silkscreen printmaking methods. These were taken at Hermes' "Festival des Metiers" at 583 Park Avenue with silk maker Kamel Hamadou in 2012.

Tom Killion - woodblock Printmaker

Back in 2009 I attended a presentation/workshop by California printmaker Tom Killion at the Columbia College in Chicago. His prints and many books had been an inspiration to me and my interest in woodcblock printmaking. You can go to the Baren archives and see photos from that day here: Tom Killion workshop


Here are some short online video clips from around that time with Tom describing his process and inspiration.
