Julia will be running a wood engraving workshop on 15th August at Ludlow Assembly Rooms.

Wood engraving is a precise and expressive method of relief printmaking, often described as drawing with light. Using specialist tools, you’ll carve delicate lines into end‑grain boxwood (or similar hardwood), ink the surface, and print your own small, detailed image.

This intensive one‑day workshop is ideal for complete beginners as well as those looking to develop their skills. You will:

• Learn about engraving tools and how to handle them safely and effectively

• Practise a range of mark‑making techniques

• Explore the principles of designing specifically for engraving

• Prepare, engrave, and print your own 2 × 3 inch block

Cost: £95, which includes a practice block, a small engraving block, and full use of tools throughout the day.

To make the most of your time with Julia, please bring a prepared image suitable for engraving onto a 2 × 3 inch block.
