Working with Japanese born, London based artist Hiroko Imada, this practical workshop draws on the Museum's wide collection of Japanese prints for inspiration.

Working directly with Hiroko all day in our art studio and galleries, she will guide students through working with traditional materials and share her knowledge, passion and expertise in Japanese printmaking. Students will design, cut and print their own woodblocks using traditional techniques inspired by objects from the Museum's collection. All materials are provided.
