During January 2014 I'll be conducting a number of full day classes.
Be introduced to the ultimate in non-toxic printmaking!
Traditional Japanese Woodblock
Carving and Printing
Saturday 4th January 10am - 4pm
Saturday 11th January 10am - 4pm
Learn the fabulous non toxic techniques used in the traditional Japanese method of woodblock printmaking. This method of printmaking does not involve a printing press and can be conducted almost anywhere with a few basic tools and materials.
The first class on the 4th January will focus purely on the preparation of an image and carving that image onto woodblocks. Features of the Kento registration system will be explored and practiced.
The second class on the 11th January will focus on printing the woodblocks, which were carved at the previous class, in the traditional Japanese manner, using water soluble inks onto Japanese paper.
Join both classes to explore and learn a number of key elements used in the production of traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Transfer these wonderful many century old skills and techniques to contemporary printmaking practices.
