handmade prints

Manually produced artwork

Handmade prints are artworks produced through manual printmaking techniques such as woodcut, linocut, etching, screenprinting, or lithography, where the artist directly creates and controls each impression rather than relying on mechanical or digital reproduction.

Each print in an edition may show slight variations, which collectors often prize as evidence of the human hand.

She sells handmade prints at the craft fair.

The term distinguishes these works from mass-produced posters or giclée reproductions.
