Cerographic

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of cerography; created by or involving the technique of engraving on waxed surfaces.

Etymology

Formed from 'cerograph' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic.' The term describes qualities or methods related to the cerographic artistic process.

Kelly Says

Cerographic techniques create works with a distinctive aesthetic—the deliberate scratches and line-work visible in the wax medium give each print a handmade, almost archaeological appearance that differs from smoother mechanical printing methods.
