A small-group workshop to discover linocut printing

In this workshop, you’ll learn all the steps involved in creating a Japanese linocut. So we’re going to draw, engrave, ink and print! I’ll offer you several Japanese-inspired design templates or manga to transfer, as well as several customization elements (Japanese motifs, etc.) to engrave a personalized plaque. After this convivial moment of creation, you’ll leave with your engraved linoleum plaque and the print you’ve made on Japanese mulberry paper.

While your print is drying, we’ll keep in touch and I’ll answer any questions you may have.
