Workshop Description:
Join artist Kiyomi Fukui Nannery for an immersive day exploring the gentle art of white-line woodcut printing. Born on the shores of Provincetown, this uniquely American technique creates luminous, painterly prints where carved lines emerge as delicate white traces between pools of watercolor.
In this full-day workshop, participants will learn to transform a simple wooden block into a matrix of possibility—carving linear drawings that become the skeleton for multiple color applications. The press-less method allows for intimate connection with materials and process, much like its Japanese cousin, mokuhanga.
Each participant will complete their own white-line print on various Japanese papers, discovering how this century-old technique offers contemporary possibilities for artistic expression.
