About Family Craft Workshop with Woodblocks

Making a book used to be a very hands-on affair, that is before the advent of computers. Imagine having to arrange every single letter for every word on every page to print a copy, and that’s before you even have any pictures involved!

Before modern printing was commercialised, artists would carve drawings on to wooden blocks, which could then be hand-pressed onto parchment – you better hope you’ve made your drawing the right size, there’s no dragging and resizing here!

Hand in hand with our exhibition 'Still Life' we present this 90-minute workshop where we’ll be designing and creating our own modern wood blocks – though rather than carving into wood or etching into a metal plate, we’ll be using craft foam and scissors!

Design and create prints inspired by our heritage collections!

Work from unique historical illustrations and patterns. Learn about old woodblock carving and learn to make your own stamps

Explore the Linnean Society and make your own prints

Make some beautiful stamps, and then have a wander around the Linnean Society building, where Darwin's Origin of Species was first presented to an audience!

Hands-on and creative interactive activity

Learn how books used to be made! An interactive way of learning more about history and taxonomy.
