![]() ![]() I: Do you have to have to be artistically knowledgeable to do your day workshop? Also my own researches, I have been running workshops in Moku Hanga since the late 1990s in Art schools and other venues. G: I Had several Japanese tutors over the years, but I suppose being a student of Rebecca Salter Britain’s leading expert on Moku Hanga (she has publish several books on subject) while I was studying for my Printmaking M.A. I: How did you start doing this form of printmaking? G: Yes the Japanese didn’t use Printing presses, so printed by hand, which makes it ideal for the amateur artist, with very little outlay on equipment. I: Does Moku Hanga have any other special attributes? G: Its main difference is the printing with water based inks as opposed to oil based inks, which makes it a safer way of printing, so good for health and safety and ecologically sound. I: How Does it differ from western woodcut? G: Simply it is the Japanese form of woodcut, though we do look at other water based woodcut traditions, but the Japanese have developed this form to highly sophisticated art form. We interviewed one of our Art & Design Lecturers Gwyl Lewis about a recent Moku Hanga (Japanese woodcut) day workshop he ran a Truro College. ![]()
