“ I attended a two-day workshop with the highly skilled wood engraver Ben Goodman, whose expertise and extensive knowledge in his field were truly impressive and inspiring. Over the course of the sessions, I learned how to prepare my woodblock properly and thoroughly, transfer designs with precision and accuracy, and engrave using a variety of specialised tools to achieve detailed and refined results. Additionally, I was introduced to two distinct and effective printing techniques. Printing with the press produced excellent and consistent results, particularly when weight distribution was carefully balanced, while smaller blocks responded exceptionally well to hand pressure, allowing for greater control. This invaluable experience has significantly expanded my understanding of wood engraving and printing methods, enriching my skills and creative approach.”
