Accessibility and independence of production tools play a big role in selection of publication media, in Yifei’s case, woodblock printing is often used along with home printers. Woodblock printing enables autonomous production of the content, and facilitates reproduction in higher quantities.
For the first weekend of his takeover, Yifei will host a workshop to introduce woodblock printing to the public. Starting with pushing hands exercise and ending with a printing session, the workshop enables the direct and genuine communication of one’s ideas and knowledge.
This workshop is free of charge, but sign-up is required. Material will be provided by Yifei and us, so you may come as you are. But you are also welcome to bring fabrics, clothes or canvas bags that you want to have patterns printed on.
