Join us for an exclusive demonstration showcasing the intricate process of printing a wood engraving portrait of Pete Seeger. This upcoming event will highlight the creation of a stunning two-colour print on toned paper, resulting in a visually captivating broadside that gives the illusion of three colours.
During the demonstration, Wesley will delve into the art of wood engraving, discuss the design elements of the broadside, explain how block registration is achieved, and demonstrate the meticulous process of make-ready under the block.
Don't miss this opportunity to witness Wesley's craftsmanship firsthand. Signed and editioned copies of the broadside will be available for purchase, along with a complimentary proof of the wood engraving of Pete Seeger for attendees of the workshop demonstration.
Maximum 15 participants.
