Woodcut printing workshop, 1.00pm - 4.00pm

Join artist and printmaker Alex Booker for an exciting day of woodcut printing to coincide with Forest of Fabrication - dRMM: pioneers of timber architecture. In response to this brilliant show, we'd love you to make your own timber inspired prints; it could be your favourite project, designer, concept or final construction from the show. With Japanese Shina blocks, Alex will teach you this ancient medium by using traditional Japanese wood cutting tools and printing by hand your own unique designs. This activity is available to 10+ years old.  All materials will be provided.
