A Miraculous Experience In Print-making" Workshop - Conservation Office
Print-making is a product of carving and printing. Through the superb artists' carving skill together with different printing techniques, beautiful artworks can be produced. In this activity, conservators will introduce the technique of printmaking and guide the participants to experience the production of their own prints. A good understanding on printmaking allows conservators to formulate an appropriate treatment methodology on the artworks as and when situations require. In addition, participants will have opportunity to talk to the conservators to gain a deeper understanding on the fun and challenges of conservation work.
