Explore the creative potential of multiblock woodcut printing in this hands-on masterclass with Merlyn Chesterman.

Designed for printmakers who already have a basic understanding of offsetting and printing with multiple layers, this course delves into the many possibilities that emerge from working with multiple blocks. Discover how even a simple combination of two blocks can produce an extraordinary range of images through thoughtful experimentation.

You'll explore printing with opaque and translucent inks, creating unexpected colour combinations, printing light colours over dark, offsetting or rotating blocks, and other techniques that open up endless opportunities for creative play and discovery. This workshop is all about pushing the boundaries of relief printmaking and encouraging experimentation in a supportive studio environment.
