The Society of Wood Engravers

The Society of Wood Engravers is a UK-based organization founded in 1920 to promote and support the art of wood engraving, a technique of creating illustrations by carving designs into hardwood blocks. Members are skilled artists who produce detailed, high-quality prints used in books, prints, and art projects. The society fosters artistic excellence, encourages innovation in the craft, and exhibitions showcase their work to the public. It plays a key role in preserving and advancing the traditional craft of wood engraving while embracing contemporary artistic approaches.
