MOKU HANGA WORKSHOP
From the 8th to the 12th of November, from 9am to 5pm, Contraprova - Atelier de Gravura will host the workshop of Japanese technique Moku Hanga, which will be guided by guest artists Thomas Hallon Hallbert and Mari Kurosaka. Registration ends September 23rd! Don't forget to send an email to [email protected] to confirm your interest and send proof of payment by that day!!
The objective of this workshop is to create and print wooden plates following the traditional Japanese technique. The printing process is distinguished by the use of water-soluble pigments and the use of the Japanese tool "baren", without the use of a press. It allows you to obtain transparent effects similar to those of watercolor painting.
A print will be made in various colors based on the project developed and a small edition will be printed. After a brief introduction to the history and analysis of Japanese prints, we begin to go through the steps of creation: Sketch/drawing and how to separate the colors, transfer the design to wooden plates, presentation of the different gouges and tools and how to handle them , sharpening of tools, preparation and humidification of papers, preparation of watercolors from dry pigments and, finally, the printing process with water-soluble pigments using the Japanese printing tool «baren».
Price > €400 (materials included)

MOKU HANGA WORKSHOP
From the 8th to the 12th of November, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Contraprova - Atelier de Gravura will have the Moku Hanga Workshop, with the invited artists Thomas Hallon Hallbert and Mari Kurosaka. You can sign up until the 23rd of September! Don't forget to send an e-mail to [email protected] confirming your interest and with the confirmation of your payment!!
The aim with this workshop is the practical execution of wood block engraving following the traditional Japanese print technique. The printing procedure is distinguished by the use of water solvable pigments and printing by the force of the hand using the Japanese tool “baren”, without using any mechanical print press. It allows to achieve similar transparent effects as with aquarelle painting. You will make a print in several colors based on your own design and print a small edition. After a brief introduction to the history and analysis of Japanese prints, we start going through the steps of creation: Sketching/drawing and how to separate the colors, transferring the drawing to the wood blocks, presentation of the different knives and tools and how to use them, sharpening the tools, preparation and humidification of the papers, preparation of the watercolors from dry pigments, and finally the print process with water solvable pigments using the Japanese print tool “baren”.
