Wood engraving is a wonderfully low-tech discipline which requires little more than a set of tools and a piece of wood – yet it can produce the most beautiful and intricate images. This comprehensive two day workshop will teach you everything you need to know about engraving.
Starting with a demonstration and an explanation of its origins, including rare examples of original 18th century prints, you will then learn how to prepare your woodblock, transfer your design, use the tools and print by hand and with a press. By the end of the workshop you will have a finished engraving, a set of prints, and enough knowledge to continue engraving at home.
Please bring with you a selection of reference photos or sketches to work with. Visit The Society of Wood Engravers for inspiration.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and more experienced printmakers.
