Join us for a one-day workshop of introduction to relief printing using the woodcut technique. This beginner-friendly workshop will guide you through the entire process of creating your own woodcut print—from carving the panel of wood to hand-printing with oil-based ink on beautiful Japanese washi paper.  

By the end of the session, you'll have the confidence and knowledge to continue printing at home— even in your kitchen!

​

You’ll learn how to:

• Prepare and transfer an image onto wood

• Carve the image with tools safely

• Work with oil-based ink

• Produce a single-colour print

• Use a baren pad to hand-print onto washi paper

• Clean all tools and maintain them​

​​

What’s provided:

• A new set of wood carving knives (yours to take home)

• One A5 woodcut panel (210mm x 148mm)

• A baren pad for hand-printing (also yours to take home)

• Oil-based ink and Japanese washi paper for use during the workshop

• Postage and packaging for your finished prints (to be sent once dry)

 

You need to bring:

• A simple A5 image that you will recreate as a print

• An apron or something to cover your clothes

 

This will be an exciting, inspiring, and fun workshop where you'll learn a new skill in a relaxed studio environment.
