Xylography

Word of the day: xylography  \zye-LAH-gruh-fee\ noun: the art of making engravings on wood especially for printing.


I learned something new again today.  I didn't know that one of my art interests is called xylography.  I remember as early as in high school art class, I enjoyed printmaking by carving reverse images into wood blocks.  I never knew what the artform was called.
