How to Print a Multiblock/Multicoloured Woodcut
Friday, September 5, 2025
Starting at 1 pm
September 5 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join exhibiting artist Rhonda Neufeld for a live demonstration of her large-scale multi-block woodcut printmaking process. This in-depth session will focus on the hand-printing techniques used to create the works featured in Leaving Home, offering insight into the artist’s meticulous and physical approach to printmaking.
Rhonda will begin by sharing how she develops her imagery, selects her woodblocks, and carves the image using specialized tools. The emphasis will be on her method of hand-printing (without a press) highlighting the challenges and precision required to produce consistent editions.
The demonstration will also include a discussion of:
- Creating and using a registration template
- Selecting papers suitable for hand-printing
- Ink qualities and mixing
- Tools such as brayers and glass inking surfaces
- Safe cleaning methods for blocks and tools
Attendees are encouraged to arrive promptly at 1:00 pm to experience the full demonstration. A Q&A session with the artist will follow.
