10am – 4pm both days
Standard Tickets: £220 per person
Tutor: Caroline Whitehead
Venue: Essex Print Studio
Mokulito is a form of lithography which relies on the fact that oil and water do not mix, 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. 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. This weekend workshop will teach you how to draw, process and print one or two mokulito plates
All materials will be provided but we suggest that you bring along a packed lunch.
Suitable for beginners.
