This workshop is like a dual journey. The first stop is the Onassis Library and the second the School of Fine Arts. Let’s thumb through books and discover engravings that will make them more attractive. Above all, join us to discover the great art of engraving.
Looking for such artists, we will visit the School of Fine Arts so that the artists themselves can explain to you all about the art of engraving. They will talk to you about its history, show you the way to make an engraving step by step: from the first draft to the printing stage. They will also teach you how to carve on linoleum. More unknown words? No worries, you’ll learn a lot in this workshop. Then you will pick up the special tools and create your own work on Japanese paper, a drop cap to take home as a souvenir. You may even find you’re an artist at heart, who knows?
