Why spend a day learning a 400-year-old craft? As a frequent student of workshops myself, I know that it's only when I join a class that I can switch off from the world. See the results of some 'slow' art made in my recent workshop! I find there's something magical about when timber, washi paper and watercolours combine.
Three-colour print using watercolour inks.
Placing the damp washi paper onto the block.
Rubbing the back of the print with a baren.
Hey, presto! A two-colour print.
Beautiful as it is, or another accent colour could be added.
Some comments about my workshop.
With her unique hand-carved block, this student can now make her own prints at her leisure, and also scan them into her computer to create cards and gift-wrap. See upcoming workshops!
