Mokulito - Weekend Course
Learn how to print using the mokolito technique, also know as wood lithography - a unique form of printmaking. This weekend course runs Saturday-Sunday on the following dates:
5 & 6 of April 2025
13 & 14 September 2025
Developed in Japan in the 1970s, the process uses plywood as the printing surface and draws on the principles of lithography, specifically the antipathy between grease and water. Greasy materials, such as tusche, crayons, and autographic inks, are used to draw and paint imagery on the sanded plywood matrix and which is then processed.
Mokulito has the benefit that additional reductive marks can be cut into the surface as with relief printing, so that when printed the drawn and cut marks sit together with the ghostly impressions of the wood grain to create a beautiful, contrasted image.
This course is suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners.
