The workshop explores the history of the traditional Japanese prints as exemplified by Hokusai and Hiroshige and follows the teaching that the tutor Carol Wilhide Justin herself received from Japanese sensei on her residency in Japan.

Mokulito Wood Lithography with Kate Desforges
Course Code: WC2301PR88 Tutor: Kate Desforges Course Dates: Saturday & Sunday 4th - 5th November 2023 Days: 2 Times: 10.00am – 5.00pm Experience Level: All Levels Fee: £185 Location: Art Academy London, 165A Mermaid Court, SE1 1HR £185.00Plywood lithography takes the basic principles of lithography and applies them to a prepared plywood surface. Traditional lithographic drawing materials are used to draw and paint onto the plywood surface. The drawing is then processed using gum arabic, and the block is inked up and printed using the etching press. Because of the coarser nature of wood in comparison to stone or metal plate, fine detail cannot always be retained, so this process would suit those who have a more experimental approach to image-making, embracing and working with the natural properties of the wood.
This course will explore the creative possibilities of this unique printmaking process. The grain of the wood will often show up in the background of prints, and becomes stronger with each subsequent print – ‘filling in’ until white becomes black and the block is no longer useable. Kate will guide you through this fascinating technique with a hands-on, experimental approach, providing examples, instruction and advice throughout. The aim of the course is to gain a good understanding of the process and to create a small run of prints from your own plywood block, and to give you the confidence to carry on using the technique in your own practice. This course would suit those with a little previous experience of lithography, relief printing or intaglio, however this is not essential and beginners are also welcome. -
