Tutor - Rosanna Morris
3-week course, Fridays
Starts Friday 27 June 2025, 10am - 3pm
This three-week course is an immersive exploration of woodcut printmaking, guiding students from observational and imaginative drawing to the bold, expressive world of relief printing. Inspired by the raw energy of German Expressionist printmakers, we will investigate how composition, narrative, emotion, and mark-making contribute to the power of an image.
We will dive into the technical and physical aspects of woodblock carving and printing, learning traditional and contemporary approaches to cutting, inking, and pressing. The course is structured to support both beginners and those with some experience, but strong wrists are essential for working with wood.
By the end of the course, each student will have developed a series of woodcut prints, explored colour and the jigsaw technique, whilst having gained both technical skills and a deeper understanding of how to translate their unique vision into print.
All materials provided, though you may wish to give some thought in advance to the type of imagery you would like to create.
Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for an inky studio environment, and bring a bag or portfolio with you to take work away at the end of the day, bearing in mind some of it may still be wet.
Suitable for all abilities.
