Thank you for such a fun and fascinating workshop • WOODBLOCK PRINTING WITH EARTH PIGMENTS • at the Chapel this week!

We had an incredibly productive day playing with local natural earth pigments, pictured is red iron oxide from the Forest of Dean. Participants went through the basics of learning the process from design, carving and printing on a press, to produce a small set of hand-made woodblock prints.

All topped off with a delicious lunch and refreshments from the Chapel.

Book our next workshop • INKWASH with MARIANNE RYAN on 17 JUNE • by visiting the link in our bio or calling 01873 852690.
