In this course students will be learning Woodcut printmaking – the oldest form of printmaking. This is a relief process in which knives and other tools are used to carve a design into the surface of a wooden block. You will be led by an experienced tutor to carve Japanese plywood plates to create a multi-plate print edition. Relief printing focuses on form and texture; you will learn to combine the tone, hue and saturation of two-plate colours to achieve an edition of prints on archival Italian paper.
Throughout this course you will learn how to:
- Design and draw your design onto a wooden block
- Use a variety of specialist printmaking equipment and materials
- Plan and stage your colour layers
- Use a professional printing press
Each week you will add a new layer, gradually building your composition and bringing your prints to life.
This popular course is ideal for beginners or repeat attendees.
Once you have completed the course we recommend signing up for one of our other Relief Printmaking courses, or join us for Open Access sessions on Tuesday evenings and Saturdays during the day, giving you the opportunity to further develop your printmaking skills. After completing this course, students will be given a free Open Access session.
