Description
This immersive workshop will explore the gentle art of white-line woodcut printing. Born on the shores of Provincetown, this uniquely American technique creates luminous, painterly prints where carved lines emerge as delicate white traces between pools of watercolor.
In this two-day workshop, participants will learn to transform a simple wooden block into a matrix of possibility—carving linear drawings that become the skeleton for variety of multiple color applications. The press-less and non-toxic method allows for intimate connection with materials and process, much like its Japanese cousin, mokuhanga.
Each participant will complete variations of their own white line woodcut prints, discovering how this century-old technique offers contemporary possibilities for artistic expression.
