Workshop Description
This five-day workshop explores the meeting of Eastern and Western approaches to printmaking through press-free hand-printed monotype, collage, and chine-collé. Combining the spontaneity of Western monotype with the material qualities of Eastern papers, participants will explore how prints can be created, fragmented, layered, and reconstructed into new images.
The workshop begins with a short field observation session, gathering visual references from the surrounding landscape through sketches, photographs, textures, shapes, and other details that catch our attention. Back in the studio, participants will translate these observations into a growing collection of monotypes, printed entirely by hand without the use of a press.
Rather than treating each monotype as a finished work, participants will use these prints as material for further image-making. Over the following days, prints will be cut, torn, edited, rearranged, and recombined through collage, with particular attention to scale, repetition, transparency, negative space, and layering.
Working with Eastern papers, participants will explore how the character and translucency of the paper can become an active part of the image. Chine-collé will then bring these printed fragments and layers together into more resolved compositions.
Throughout the workshop, participants will move continuously between printing and composing—responding to what emerges, printing new elements when needed, and allowing images to develop gradually through the process.
Open to different levels of printmaking experience, the workshop emphasizes experimentation, material sensitivity, and the development of a personal visual language.

Workshop Description
This five-day workshop explores a combination of direct mark-making techniques on lightweight papers, Western-style woodcut and Japanese mokuhanga printmaking.
Participants will learn how to use wax as a resist to create layered, stained images on lightweight Japanese papers. Delicate washes of colour can be applied before the wax is removed, revealing patterns and tonal variations. These papers can then be overprinted with relief woodcuts or incorporated into prints using the chine-collé technique.
The workshop will explore different approaches to woodblock printing, from bold black-and-white imagery to multicolour compositions using multiple blocks. Reduction carving will also be introduced as a way to develop tonal variation within an image.
Participants will be introduced to key mokuhanga techniques, including image transfer, registration methods and printing with different types of baren. They will also explore how stained papers can be combined with relief printing to create layered and richly textured images.
Throughout the workshop, participants will develop their image ideas through drawings made to scale and transferred onto the blocks using a variety of methods, including laser-printed photocopies.
Combining these techniques offers new possibilities for experimentation with colour, texture, layering and image-making in contemporary relief printmaking.
