Astrup: Wood Engraving
Join the Friends and receive a discount on this event.
Join us for an introduction to wood engraving, a powerful method of printmaking. This is a traditional craft, yet it has a lively position in contemporary art. During the course you will create prints from your own drawings using key techniques including preparing the block, cutting the image using a range of specialist tools and printing by hand. A guided visit, with the tutor, to the Nikolai Astrup exhibition will provide a valuable opportunity to look closely at many of the points covered in the class.
With artist Peter Brown
