Its history is the history of people's desire to communicate information, first through symbols, later through images and the printed word. This course explores the different techniques of relief print on woodblock and unsized chalk block. Upon request it will be possible to try out lino cut, using linoleum matrices. A free handbook will be given to each student. Each participant will make own works, which may be created at the moment or on the base of drawings, photographs and images brought from home.
Faculty Information:
All Instructors are Award Winning Artist, professionals in their field and widely respected.
Other Activities:
Starting from Summer 2008, there will be a special program to invite artists from Italy, Europe and overseas to come over to the workshop and hold special topics courses. The aim is to offer our students a wide variety of approaches and to strengthen inter cultural understanding through the arts.
By confronting printmaking with other media, tutors, artists and students will be able to develop professional projects or ambitious bodies of work and to understand the practice of being an artist or to relate with the art business. Visiting Artists in 2008: Irene Woodbury, American artist; Ann Swan, English botanical artist; Zara Matthews, English photographer and painter.
