Woodcut Printmaking

In this group workshop you will learn how to produce your own relief prints using the Japanese inspired technique of wood block carving and printing.

Carving images and designs into sheets of plywood with hand tools, you will use the equipment and materials provided to make your own unique woodcut relief prints to take home and frame.

This course will also show you how to continue to make woodcut prints at home.

You will be guided step by step all the way by our course tutor Sam Groom.

All materials and equipment will be provided.

You may want to bring some ideas, imagery or reference material to draw from (though not essential). High contrast, line images work best.

Please wear old clothes as printing can get messy. No sandals, heels or open toed shoes. Aprons will be provided.

You may want to bring a packed lunch and your own water bottle.

Teas and coffees are provided.
