Mumu Wang's demostraton at the SCGI Conference 2017

Our PhD student Mumu Wang provided demonstration during the 2017 Atlanta SGCI Conference.

Traditional Chinese Relief Hand-Printing (Woodcut, Watercolor and Rubbings) - Chinese woodcut water-based rubbing prints have a long history. Since 173 AD rubbings have been used to capture images from objects in China. The earliest known dated printed book survived from 868 AD. Mumu Wang would like to demonstrate the Chinese woodcut rubbing technique to help continue this amazing tradition for generations. For the demonstration, Mumu will make a short presentation about the technique's history, teach how to prepare the woodblock, teach how to make the tools, and quickly demonstrate how to print a block in just seconds with water-based inks.
