One Hundred Years of Solitude in Woodcut
Friday 16 May 2025
10.30am – 5.30pm
An intensive 5-hour workshop with Roberta Feoli
⟪The world was so new that many things lacked names, and to mention them one had to point with a finger⟫.
Amid the multitude of characters and stories in the iconic book, we will seek those closest to us and use woodcut as a physical and tribal language to depict key scenes and moments from the novel. We will print a limited edition in black, enriched with details in chine-collé.
