Making Woodblock Prints - A Complete Guide
Product Description
'Making Woodblock Prints' is an educational film taught by master printmakers Merlyn Chesterman RE and Rod Nelson. The two hour 'workshop' covers nine, easy to follow topics including cutting a block, adding colour, proofing and editioning, techniques and inspiration. Benefit from their combined knowledge and master the art of block printing.
Using just a few simple materials, uniquely lively, delicate or bold woodcut prints can be easily created. Many will associate this form of printing with Japanese woodblock printing and ukiyo-e designs such as 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' by Katsushika Hokusai.
“Woodcuts are images that simply can’t be made in any other way. They sit on the boundary between art and craft - and anyone making woodcuts will quickly experience the delights and terrors of both.” RN
