Margot Rocklen

Rooted in centuries of tradition, this hands-on, non-toxic process uses natural materials to produce innovative and beautiful contemporary woodblock prints.

Intermediate students will expand their practice by combining mokuhanga with intaglio line work and embossing, printing expressive, dimensional images using both hand printing and an intaglio press. Includes one 3-hour practice session per week during monitored practice hours. Tuition for this class includes a fee of $35 for materials provided by CAW including paper, Shina wood blocks, nori paste, and ink.
