Light-Activated Printmaking: Jiama-Inspired Photopolymer Workshop Explore the intersection of traditional Chinese folk printmaking and contemporary UV-sensitive photopolymer printing techniques. This workshop is inspired by the visual language and storytelling structure of Chinese Jiama woodblock prints. Participants will create their own image and transform it into a photopolymer relief printing plate using UV exposure technology. The final process allows participants to print multiple editions by hand, similar to traditional woodblock printmaking. Unlike photographic processes such as cyanotype, this workshop focuses on relief printmaking, where light is used to create a printable surface rather than producing a photographic image. Through a step-by-step guided process, participants will learn how hand-drawn or designed images can be transferred onto light-sensitive resin plates and printed in multiple copies. Workshop Process Introduction to Chinese Jiama woodblock printmaking traditions Design development and composition UV exposure of photopolymer resin plate Washing and developing the printing plate the available dates are: 25th July, 5th, 15th 19th, 22nd, August
