Printmaking 1 Day Course

Another workshop by our very own Seth Randall-Pollock: come to the museum for a tour of the collection, a rummage through the archives, and a chance to cut and print your very own woodcarving - all from images from the museum! If you have your own ideas too, bring one along and we'll show you how to make them into a block print, and the right tools to use along the way.
