About this Event
Join us for an in-person Summer-Themed Woodblock Printing Course! No experience necessary. All levels welcome.
Students will experience basic carvings and print the one-block printmaking process with a simple design provided by the instructor. They will also ink/color on two to three carved blocks to understand how kento, the registration mark works in Japanese printmaking.
Description: From the earliest points in my artistic practice to the present, I have always had an affection and an interest in the beauty and precision in traditional Japanese printmaking techniques, and have at various times integrated the skills I learned from working with these techniques into my practices.This introductory workshop introduces students to the processes of Japanese block printmaking focusing on inking and printing. In this one-time workshop, students will experience basic carvings and print the one-block printmaking process with a simple summer-theme design provided by the instructor. They will also ink/color on two to three carved blocks to understand how kento, the registration mark works in Japanese printmaking.
