Description
During the session, CuriousInkyMe will showcase each step of the Mokuhanga process, presenting the tools and materials essential to this printmaking technique. From the hangito knife used for carving to the vibrant watercolours and inks, you'll witness firsthand the magic of creating art through woodblock printing.
CuriousInkyMe’s interactive presentation will feature a display of carvings and work-in-progress pieces, providing insight into the techniques involved. At the end of the demonstration you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, producing your own print from a pre-prepared carving.
Mokuhanga is perfect for anyone interested in a non-toxic, table-top printmaking technique. It has a rich history in Japanese art and has been used to create a wide range of prints, including ukiyo-e (woodblock prints of the Edo period), as well as contemporary works by artists around the world. It continues to be practised and celebrated for its intricate beauty and unique process.
