Spend a day getting stuck into the wonderfully satisfying world of woodblock carving! You’ll learn how to relief carve a wooden block to create your own pattern or scene—perfect as a decorative piece, a block for printing or a bespoke stamp or paddle for adding texture to clay.
You’ll be working with a selection of UK-sourced woods and a whole range of carving tools to play with, helping you explore what works best for your design.
To make the most of the six-hour session, attendees are encouraged to share their ideas via email beforehand so we can prepare any references or guidance you may need.
Throughout the workshop you’ll learn about wood types and grain behaviour, how to remove waste cleanly and efficiently, how to get the best out of different carving tools, and how to look after your finished block so it lasts.
All materials are included—cardstock, inks, stains, soft clay for test prints, hanging hardware, plus plenty of example pieces, reference images and books to spark inspiration.
