What you will learn

You’ll learn how to transfer your design to your first block, carve your block, and print with a range of colours. You will then transfer your image to the second block which will be printed in additional colours, completing your design.

By the end of the second day, you will have a small edition of multi-block, multi-coloured woodcut prints to take home, and the skills and confidence to continue printmaking on your own.

You will be using a printing press and will also be shown how to print by hand so that you can continue working at home.

This course is suitable for beginners and those with more experience of printmaking.

All materials will be provided but please bring an image to work from. The blocks will be 20cm x 20cm so a square image would be ideal.

"The course was extremely well organised and it was great having all materials provided. I learnt a lot."

Joanna Bourne

Joanna Bourne studied Fine Art at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne where she discovered a love of printmaking. She became a member of Charlotte Press in Newcastle in the late 1980s, exhibiting widely and experimenting with a variety of print techniques.

Much of Joanna Bourne's inspiration for her prints comes from her local area of Newcastle with its town moor and parks and her allotment and garden. She is interested in the places where urban life and the natural world meet, and her images convey the impressions of a given moment in time, a scene glimpsed which has resonated with her, initially working from drawings, photographs and memory. She responds in particular to the atmospheric incarnations of ‘northern’ weather – wind, snow and rain, and the changing times of the year.
