Overview
Mokuhanga is perfect for anyone interested in a non-toxic, table-top printmaking technique. Over the Japanese Water-Based Woodcut Printmaking (Mokuhanga) course of the three days at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), you will learn the skills to transfer an image to Japanese plywood and carve various colour separation blocks in relief, following in the tradition of Japanese Ukiyo-e printing. With no mechanical press required, only a hand held 'baren', you will learn the techniques to achieve various print effects, from 'sesame printing' to 'bokashi' (gradation), while registering your multi-block image through the simple but brilliant traditional 'kento' registration system. You will be sure to fall in love with both the process and results of this accessible, meditative, water-based printmaking method which provides endless possibilities.
Key Feeatures
You can expect to leave with a variety of samples of printing techniques and a small selection of a simple image printed in A5 on Japanese mulberry paper, with the skills and confidence to continue carving and printing at home. This course is ideally suited to those with some understanding of printmaking, however all the basics will be covered.Programme Structure
Content- Day one- We we look at some mokuhanga prints and discuss the process, with carving demonstrations and an opportunity to try the Hangitoknife on a sample block. We will then transfer a very simple image to Japanese plywood with carbon and tracing paper and the kento registration method.
- Day two- We will continue to carve, using a set of five knives to clear all the non-printable areas of our multi-block design.
- Day three- The entire day will be spent experimenting with print techniques to achieve various effects from your multi-block plates.
