WELCOME TO THE HOMEPAGE OF WOODBLOCK PRINTMAKER, RICHARD KEITH STEINER

Thank you for coming to my official homepage.
I’ve been making mokuhanga without a break for over 50 years, since 1970, and am far from losing interest in this fantastic art medium. There has almost never been a lost for ideas; I have come to realize that there are many more prints remaining to be made.
Over the years I’ve added more prints (see Art Works), notes on the prints’ meanings (see Artist’s Talk), newer tools and printmaking materials (see Tool Bench), exhibition and workshops (see Events), and made ordering faster and easier (see Order). Take your time and leisurely look the site over. Contacting me with questions and comments is more than welcomed anytime. Again, thank you for visiting today.

Poor Webbly. He is shunned and ashamed. He cannot spell his name, and is ridiculed for it. It is something like what one would feel in a foreign country whose native script is unfamiliar, and so cannot spell one's own name in it.


1. setting up the moistening pack
I began to make videos that demonstrate my way of 50+ years of woodblock printmaking. Mostly short, they come in no class order; ideas are dealt with answers to students’ questions. Your questions after watching will lead to additional videos.
Here are some first introductions to look at:

Setting up moistening pack
Moistening Paper
Knife Sharpening, Chapter 1
Knife Sharpening, Chapter 2
Knife Sharpening, Chapter 3
Oiling the Bamboo Baren
Splitting the Hairs of the Brush

The videos were made by my student Jere Kilpinen from Finland.
