Wood Engraving Workshop at The Doodle Bar

About

In this workshop you will be provided with one end-grain boxwood and a rage of tools to create your marks with on the wood block. The first stage of the workshop is to choose a design from the collection of art books, or create your own pattern or image. The next step will be to simply dent or score the block with your tool. Once your design is ready, you will then ink up your block using black ink and print onto a selection of papers. In the workshop you will learn how to print without a press. By the end of the workshop you will have a selection of prints onto paper and you are able to keep the block to use for future projects.

Your welcome to bring your own images along to the workshop, however the block is very small so bare this in mind. See below a few images to give you an idea. Think about what you might want to print onto, if you have any interesting papers at home bring it along to the workshop and try it out!
