#Cherry moku hanga carving blocks registration#
Your next block will be carved to overprint the first and registration marks carefully made so the two images align when printed to create a third colour. You will start by printing a very light colour from the block, having removed any areas of the image you want to keep as pure white (those areas will not receive ink). For this course we will produce prints using two separate printing blocks. You can work with as many images as you like within this format. On this course we are going to work within an image size of 12.5 x 20cms. The class will cover the use and maintenance of Japanese tools, the kento registration system, asian papers, printing with a baren and the use of waterbased p igments. The method we will use to carve the block will not differ that much from the original way of working. This form of printmaking was known as ‘Ukiyo-e’, or ‘prints from the floating world’.
Japanese woodblock prints are those images one associates with artists such as Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi, Utamaro and Hokusai, who produced beautiful prints of luminous colour around 150-200 years ago during the Japanese Edo (present- day Tokyo) period. You will be allocated a set of tools for your sole use during the weekend. Please note that social distancing protocols and hygiene arrangements will be in place throughout the day and class numbers will be limited to eight. Due to popular demand, Elspeth Lamb is running another two-day Mohukanga (Japanese Woodblock printing) workshop at Off the Rails.
