Woodcut and Collage

Jun 10 - 14, 2024

9AM - 5PM

Concept

Explore the process of translating imagery into dynamic mark-making that is intrinsic to the medium of woodblock printmaking and collage. Students combine elements of woodblock printmaking, drawing, cut paper, and other collage materials to produce complex and compelling imagery, and add to their practice with a whole new toolbox of methods and new conceptual approaches to the woodblock medium. While the primary tenets of traditional block printing are covered, printmaking operates as a means to facilitate the student’s concept. Students gain knowledge of the fundamentals of woodblock printmaking—carving, reproduction, registration, inking, etc.—and various collage applications to produce a multilayered surface.

Mokuhanga, the Baren and Printing at Home

Hiroki Morinoue

Tuition $1,800
Code R1514-24

This exciting printmaking intensive focuses on mokuhanga: water-based Japanese woodblock printmaking. This unique, environmentally friendly process involves hand carving and can be done at home on any scale, at any time, and in any place. The class discipline is to work in a narrative concept, creating a dialog in both storytelling and relationship with color, form, and space as a narrative in a diptych or long format. The students compose and recompose printed compositions to create complex images printed from beautiful shina wood onto traditional Japanese mulberry paper.
