In this workshop, students will carve designs from shina wood (front and back) and print them onto mulberry paper by hand using water-based inks. Additions of mica powder applied to damp ink may further enhance the prints. Rosemary will show students how to take the method further by printing an un-inked carved block in the etching press as a collagraph, thus producing a sculptural print. At the end, students will create a collage of the printed works. Minimum of 6 students, maximum of 7.
