Explore the multi-block method of printmaking to create multi-colour prints on paper. Discover the connection between the traditional Japanese process of mokuhanga woodcut and the modern Western technique of multi-block linocut printmaking. Experiment with a variety of carving techniques, application of oil-based inks, and printing on paper using a book press.

Over the two days you’ll carve two linocut blocks and use simple registration techniques to produce a small edition of colourful prints.
