Stage Estampes japonaises : Découverte de la xylogravure

Through the different stages of xylography, participants discover the complete process of creation: preparatory drawing, wood cutting, inking and manual printing. Inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese printmaking, we discover the refined shapes, composition, the relationship to the void, textures and repetitions. Participants design their own matrices and experience printing by hand mainly in blue monochrome.

Each participant leaves with his own prints, resulting from a work at the same time technical, sensitive and creative.

Accessible to both beginners and initiates, this workshop combines the transmission of traditional know-how, Japanese visual culture and artistic experimentation, in a meditative, demanding and playful approach.
