Course programme
We will look at how to place your image on to the block. We will discuss inks and papers suitable for printing relief blocks. You will cut, etch and develop imagery on a block via proofing as part of the process and explore printing by press and by hand burnishing as a way to reveal nuances of line and tonality. We will reference woodcut prints and linocut prints, from various artists working in these media, past and present.
