    A Festive Introduction to Printmaking: Christmas Cards

    Course Code: WC2301PR15 Tutor: Carol Wilhide Justin Course Dates: Saturday & Sunday, 9th - 10th December 2023 Days: 2 Times: 10.00am – 5.00pm Experience Level: All Levels Fee: £185 Location: Art Academy London, 165A Mermaid Court, SE1 1HR £185.00

    Guided by expert printmaker Carol Wilhide-Justin you will learn how to translate your ideas into the graphic formats of woodcut and linocut. This course is a perfect introduction to relief printing and is open to all, from complete beginners to those with more experience.  

    To add a seasonal touch to the experience students may decide to print cards rather than paper prints. Either way we hope you will enjoy the opportunity to develop or learn new skills and potentially create gifts for Christmas.

    The studio is a low-­toxic environment with dedicated printmaking facilities for professional hands‐on learning. Students benefit from the diversity of attendees, taught by internationally renowned printmaking artists at a central location, offering a unique educational experience in London.

    There is a maximum of eight students per course, materials are included and we advise that you book early to avoid disappointment.

  • Introduction to Japanese Woodcut

    Course Code: WC2301PR183 Tutor: Carol Wilhide Justin Course Dates: Sundays, 19th November - 3rd December 2023 Days: 3 Times: 10.00am – 5.00pm Experience Level: Beginner Fee: £260 Location: Art Academy London, 165A Mermaid Court, SE1 1HR £260.00

    Japanese Woodcut or Mokuhanga is a relief process that is completely non-toxic in that it uses watercolour pigments and nori (rice starch) instead of oil-based ink. The prints are handprinted using a baren, no presses are necessary making this a process that can be done at home. 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.

    Students are required to join from day one, it is not possible to rejoin the course if a session (or part of it) is missed.

    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 £185.00

    Plywood 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.
