Blocher Prints
Jonathan Blocher
Wheaton College Alumni
Class of '74
Manuscriptures are handmade silk-screen prints (also known as "serigraphs") made with authentic pigment-based inks, styled after the manuscripts of the medieval monks. Every print is inspected, signed, and numbered by the artist before being matted and framed and shipped to you. The archival quality papers and fade-proof inks used by the artist ensure you will receive a lifetime of beauty and inspiration from each of these verses.
These make perfect gifts!
Inspired by Scripture verses hanging in the Blocher home, Jonathan began practicing calligraphy in 1965, at the age of twelve. He learned the art of illumination (the decorative embellishment of a text) by studying reproduction of medieval manuscripts, and began creating Manuscriptures while still in his early teens. He added screen printing to his repertoire of skills during his high school years.
He continued his education at Wheaton College, majoring in Fine Arts and Biblical Studies. Soon there after, with the encouragement and help of his family, Jonathan launched into Manuscriptures full time, which has grown steadily ever since.
At the request of Mrs. Billy Graham, several of Jonathan's works were used in the decor of the offices at the Billy Graham Center. The original artwork for our Psalm 16:11 Manuscripture now hangs in Dr. Graham's study at The Cove.
Jonathan and his wife, Retha, who is an elementary school librarian, share their home in Salem, Wisconsin, with three cats, Abraham, Sarah, and Ruth. While Jonathan's original works sell for $800 or more, we are please to be able to offer his signed and numbered serigraphs, handsomely framed, at modest prices so that every Christian home may have a constant witness of the inspiration, comfort, and encouragement that is found in God's Holy Word.
