AT THE LEITRIM DESIGN HOUSE, THE DOCK, CARRICK-ON-SHANNON
The Leitrim Design House will host a day-long workshop in Japanese woodblock printmaking on June 21st, 11am to 5pm at the Dock, in Carrick-on-Shannon. This workshop is designed to incorporate the basics of the art form of Japanese Woodblock printmaking
Debra Bowden is an artist / printmaker based in Thomastown, County Kilkenny.
Her work is a combination of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings on carved and scorched plywood blocks.
In 2006 she was awarded a six week Artist-in-Residency in Japanese Woodblock Printmaking on Awaji Island, Japan. She was one of seven international artists to be selected and the first ever from Ireland where she was taught skills by Japanese master printmakers, skills that are still being used today in Kyoto and Tokyo.
A large focus of Debra’s training in Japan was in the dissemination of the skills she has acquired. Prior to the course she taught Japanese woodblock printmaking in Grennan Mill Craft School, Thomastown; Kozo Studio and Gallery, Thomastown and the National Print Museum, Dublin.
Traditional tools and materials are used with a variety of Japanese papers and included in the price in this unique workshop.
