Intaglio on wood is a printing technique where the image is cut into a wooden block and the ink stays in the cut crevices, making the image when pressed. SInce with this technique the uncut higher parts wont print like in relief printing then this allows for more thinner lines and detailed textures.

When printed, the natural pattern of the wood will also be visible beside the cut lines. This gives the prints a special characteristic background.

The course will give a proper introduction into doing intaglio on wood. No prior experience is needed. By the end of the course each participant will have made a series of prints.
