Wood Engraving with Peter Brown

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.

During the course there will be many demonstrations of key areas and techniques, as well as plenty of group and one-to-one tuition to guide you through every step. We will also look at many examples of prints, including those produced in the class, while sharing thoughts, and lively discussion will be encouraged.

The course will take place on the following dates- 

26th April, 3rd, 10th, 17th May 

What experience do I need?

No previous experience or knowledge of printmaking is needed. The ability to describe your ideas through drawing will be helpful.
