Description
I created this dual headed baren for printmaking with a wooden side and a felt side to explore a few ideas. What happens if a baren can concentrate more pressure? And what if a baren use pressure absorbing and distributing felt blankets like roller presses do? I found that the felt side is excellent for delicate printmaking. I use it to make my grapeleaf printed cards.
It is comfortable to grasp around the side or at the top. The ability to shift hand position can be more comfortable for longer printmaking sessions. Made from aspen, this baren stands 4″ tall and is 2″ across. The top is sanded completely smooth and the bottom has a felt head. I left the wood natural, but I can finish the sides with my preferred combination of oil and wax if you request.
