Toad Stone Studio and the richly detailed art of Will Tuthill feature traditional hand-pulled prints created with antique or ancient tools, techniques, and materials. Lithographs are painstakingly drawn on Bavarian Limestone and hand-printed on acid-free cotton rag papers using a century old Fuchs & Lang press of wood and cast iron. Japanese Woodblock Prints are created, as in antiquity, by gracefully carving images in relief on woodblocks subsequently used to print layers of color with simple hand-made tools on hand-made papers. Other printmaking methods, including etching and engraving, are employed using traditional materials and tools such as metal plates and hand-cranked presses. Will Tuthill holds degrees in Fine Art and Science. His work is in the collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and the Arts and private collections in the U.S. and abroad. Will Tuthill’s work has been shown at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and many juried exhibitions nationally and internationally. Each October, the artist’s Toad Stone Studio is open to the public during the annual Great Falls Studios art tour.
