Introduction to Woodcut Printing

This one day session will teach you the basics of woodcut printing, a relief printing technique which utilises the unique texture of the wood grain to produce beautiful prints.

Wood-cut is a relief printmaking technique whereby your image is carved into a wooden block leaving a raised design. The design is then inked and printed revealing a distinct wood grain texture and tactile quality in the print. During this one day session, you will learn the basics of woodcut printing - including how to transfer a design onto wooden blocks, cut, and print, to produce a 2-layered image consisting of a 'key' block plus colour layer. You'll leave the workshop with a small edition of prints, your original wood blocks and the knowledge to continue the process! £75 (all materials included)
