Introduction to Wood Engraving with TBC - CLASS LIST FULL

Date: TBC

Time: 10am-4pm

Tutor: TBC

Class size: 6

Level: Beginner, some relief cutting experience would be of benefit.

Class Fee: £130 All materials provided.

The workshop will introduce the basic principles of wood engraving, the tools used and the printing process. You will create and print a block with your own design/image. Wood engravings are cut on the end grain of woods such as box and lemon and are distinct from woodcuts which use the side grain. Wood engraving produces very fine detail and is traditionally on a small scale.

NB Although this is an introduction suitable for beginners, it involves working at a small scale and in fine detail.
