"I love to exploit the full use of my five senses when wood, paper, and color come within my grasp." An accomplished artist whose work has illustrated numerous great literary works, Mueller explains his philosophy and techniques for creating art from the simplest materials. Readers learn about the tools of the trade, how to make plank woodcut and end-grain engravings, and how to use the medium to express themselves artistically.
