White-line woodblock prints are vibrant, multi-color images crafted from a single wooden block. This printmaking technique was pioneered by artists in the 1900s in Provincetown, inspired by the Japanese woodblock printing tradition. It enables the creation of beautiful, multi-color prints by hand, simplifying the process by eliminating the need for a press or complicated registration methods.
Join us at Space1026 for a workshop with Dre Grigoropol and Candy Lombardi from Wavy Line Press (www.wavylinespress.com), where you can create your own woodblock art! Participants will have the opportunity to learn traditional design, carving, and printing techniques, leaving with unique prints and their own woodblocks, work with Eastern and Western papers, along with newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for the craft.
Seats are limited, so be sure to secure your spot! Suggested donations of $15 and up will be collected at the door to cover the workshop cost. All materials will be provided; however, if you’d like to use special watercolors for your design, feel free to bring them along. After the workshop, we will screen Packed in the Trunk: The Lost Art of Edith Lake Wilkison, a documentary exploring the work of early 1900s white-line woodblock artist Edith Lake Wilkinson!
