Here's a slideshow I've put together of a brilliant day at Cliffe Castle Museum yesterday with the art students from Titus Salt School making woodcuts based on their drawings from last week's trip to wild, windy Widdop.
Despite never having done anything like it before, the students quickly grasped the idea and ran away with it. After getting their heads round the need for reversing the image and thinking in negative/positive, it was heads down for some solid concentrated gouging. Then the really fun bit, when the ink goes on for the first time and the image is revealed.
The resulting prints are fantastic and perfectly capture the mood of our day at Widdop, so well done all!
Welcome to Catchwater where I'm documenting the development of ideas and working processes during my residency as visual artist in the South Pennine Watershed during 2011. I'll be taking a close look at Water and the fascinating moorland architecture associated with capturing it - Angie Rogers.
