Workshop | Wood Engraving with Peter Brown at Seacourt Print Workshop
This course provides a sound introduction to wood engraving, a powerful method of printmaking which is steeped in traditional craft yet has a lively position in contemporary art.
Over the four mornings, you will create prints from your own work using specialist engraving tools, hard endgrain wood and a Victorian printing press.The early part of the course will focus on making your sample block. Here we will look at the key areas of how to create tonal and textural variation and the use of directional marks. Your second block will follow and it will originate from your own drawing. This will turn our attention to planning for printing in a single colour and composition.
