Woodblock Printmaking: Pattern in Nature
About
Ripples on water, the lay of fallen leaves, the structure of a fern, or wind moving over long grass - subjects such as these can make great woodcuts.
Woodblock printmaking is both an art and a craft, full of surprise and beauty, and a traditional art form that is also contemporary. Learn how to create woodblock prints, starting with your ideas and moving through each step: designing, cutting, offsetting, registering, printing and editioning with both translucent and opaque colours. Techniques taught in this course will draw on the tutor’s studies in China, and her own practice.
Students will develop their ideas, creating atmosphere and impact, through observation and imagination, and learn all the techniques they need in order to develop their own handwriting and voice in the future.
We will start with exercises in cutting and working in black and white, before experimenting with multi-blocks.
