In this workshop, artists will learn how to carve a woodblock using hand tools and print it in the Japanese technique. This process uses water based inks, and does not require a press. This technique is well suited to the individualist; It is decidedly low tech, students will be given all the tools needed to make prints in a home studio. While traditional processes will be taught, the medium is very elastic. Marks on wood will leave traces on paper, through the process of making prints each participant will develop their personal technique.
