An Introduction to Mokuhanga

An Introduction to Mokuhanga Saturday 11 July 2026 | 10am – 4pm £60 pp | Tickets coming soon Suitable for ages 16+ Experience the art of Japanese water-based woodblock printing with artist Lucy May Schofield. This workshop will introduce you to the unique carving technique of mokuhnaga. You'll practice printing using colour-separation woodblocks on Japanese mulberry paper (kozo washi) and using a hand-held press (baren). Each stage of the process encourages a mindful approach, carving the woodblocks, applying the watercolour ink and rice starch glue to the blocks with brushes, and using pressure from the arm and hand to make a print. You'll be sure to gain an appreciation of the variety of skills required to create prints like the ones on display in Making Waves. Please note this method of printing requires a degree of arm, wrist and finger dexterity and strength. All materials and light refreshments are provided. Participants aged under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
