Northern Print Workshop

Japanese Woodblock Printing

This is my first time at the Northern Print Workshop in Newcastle.

Participants will learn how to carve their own woodblock using Japanese tools, to print in colour on Japanese paper, and will produce a variety of prints. Blocks/materials will be available to purchase at the end of the day.

Dublin residency

In June I will be taking up residence at the Graphic Print Studio and The Red Stables in Dublin for two months.

I try to keep an open agenda for residencies but am hoping to do some collaborative printing and etching.

I will also be giving a series of master classes at the Graphic Print Studio, and daily demonstrations to the public in The Red Stables courtyard as part of St. Anne’s Rose Festival.

Thanks to Edinburgh Printmakers, the Graphic Print Studio and Dublin City Council for organising this.
