How it’s made

Several steps prepare a tree cross-section for hand-pulling a tree-ring print. The exact process can vary slightly by species, water content, or stage of decay, but every tree cross-section is sanded, burned, and scraped.

Below is a time-lapse demonstrating these steps, which I performed at Slate Home in Burlington, VT.

Vermont Artist, Katie Babic hand-pulls every print using archival-quality products, making each tree-ring design original and timeless.
