We are excited to offer this weekend workshop, which is suitable for both beginners and experienced printmakers.
Mokulito is a form of lithography and is a great technique for anyone who enjoys drawing and experimenting with different kinds of mark-making. Unlike in traditional lithography, which uses a stone or metal plate, for mokulito, the image is drawn on a plywood plate, offering the opportunity to make large prints relatively economically. Because wood is an organic substance, the image changes slightly each time the plate is printed, meaning that editions are small and variable. As the printing session progresses, the grain of the wood gradually becomes more dominant, often producing the evocative veils of colour that are so characteristic of this technique. A particular advantage of using wood as the printing matrix is the possibility of combining mokulito with woodcut, which can be used to produce contrasting sharp lines and textures. Over the weekend, you will learn to draw, process and print one or two mokulito plates
Caroline Whitehead has been working with mokulito for over five years, and is one of the few printmakers in the UK with extensive knowledge of this technique.
You can either bring an idea for an image with you (we will be working on A3 plates), or simply spend the weekend experimenting with the different kinds of marks it is possible to create.
All materials will be provided but we suggest that you bring along a packed lunch. This class is limited to 5 places.
All orders are final and unfortunately we cannot issue any refunds, except in exceptional circumstances.
Suitable for beginners and those with some experience.
