I finished this prints 2 weeks ago.. but something wasn’t really right, so I let it hung on my studio wall and now and then I looked at it to try to sort out what to change.
 Last week I decided to carve the black block some more because I wanted thinner branches, and print the background in a different colour. Now I’m really happy with it! (also because I finished it in time for my big exhibit opening on Saturday). SO if you also like the old version and you are interested in purchasing a quite large print (97x66cm) at a ridiculous price send me a message, I have 2 pieces available (third photo) #mokuhanga #japanesewoodcut #xilografiagiapponese #sisterhood #printmakingprocess #womanprintmaker  (at Centro Storico di Avigliana) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClibtGDozGj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Clivia 🌸 It's the design i draw on digital painting for my last linoprint. I tried to keep it simple as it was my first linocut but i didn't avoid to put some details on it. #art #aesthetic #artist #linocutprint #linogravure #linocut #printmaking #blackandwhite #flower #flowers #flowerstagram #digitaldrawing #digitalpainting #digitalart #illustration #handmade #clivia #linoprint #linopress #lino #printmaker #reliefprint #print #printmakersofinstagram #blockprint #blockprinting #linocutting #womanprintmaker #workofink #workofart https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3nV4IDXX-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Intense printing these days! So far 3 blocks, 29 sheets of paper, 392 layers of colour: these are now drying and will need to be dampened again before the next and last block, which will be black. Hopefully will be finished tomorrow, if my shoulder is not too sore #mokuhanga #printmaking #printing #womanprintmaker #womanartist #japanesewoodblock #japanesewoodcut #woodcut #washi #washipaper #maracozzolino #watercolours #winsorandnewton #blue #sumi (at Borgo Medievale Avigliana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfowIHeoxSE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m very honoured to have 2 prints selected for the Juried exhibition “Surface Impression” which is opening today at Lux Center for the Art in Lincoln Nebrasca. Less than 10% of the works submitted actually made it to the exhibition so I’m particularly chuffed to have been selected with 2 of my works! https://www.luxcenter.org/artist/mara-cozzolino #mokuhanga #xilografiagiapponese #japanesewoodblock #artist #womanartist #printmaker #womanprintmaker #woodcut #printmaking #reliefprintmaking #exhibition #juriedexhibition #happiness #happygirl (at LUX Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeVybcaof_d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

very happy that my studio is featured on the Impact Conference website page among some pretty amazing printmaking studios! I'm still on holiday for a couple of days but then I'll soon leave for Bristol for the conference, more soon to tell :) My atelier is open to visitors on appointment, and I teach individual classes of japanese woodcut and whiteline woodcut. https://cfpr.uwe.ac.uk/impactconference12/studios/ #mystudio #atelier #avigliana #centrostorico #bristol #impact #printmaker #printmaking #womanprintmaker #womanartist #printmakerinyourtown #nontoxic #nontoxicprintmaking @avigliana_turismo @avigliananotizie (at Centro Storico di Avigliana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiK6QDOoyTA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

60 prints in 2 days. My student Laura is a force of nature, and last week she was back in my studio to print a few editions of some (actually a lot!) woodblocks she carved in the past months. The results are stunning and I’m a happy and proud teacher!

Happy day! My prints in the exhibition Surface Impressions have been awarded a prize, and most of all a paper gift prize! This already made my day, thanks @hiromipaper for the generosity and of course to the panel who selected my works.

Due giorni dopo, perché ieri ero esausta e c’erano da fare quelle due o tre commissioni che avevo evitato di fare nelle ultime due settimane. Grazie davvero a tutti quelli che sono passati all’inaugurazione della mia personale da @aitretorchi , nonostante il caldo, nonostante il salone del libro, è stato bellissimo e siete stati fantastici!

Per tutti gli altri, segnatevi la data di sabato 18 giugno perché ci saranno altre dimostrazioni di stampa! #mokuhanga #xilografiagiapponese #japanesewoodblock #artist #womanartist #printmaker #womanprintmaker #woodcut #printmaking #reliefprintmaking #exhibition (at Ai tre Torchi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd2edN1I4Gb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Giornate di ristampe… in via di preparazione per la mostra del 20 maggio da @aitretorchi. Questa stampa è del 2021 e mi piace tantissimo. Ho lavorato un sacco per far uscire la venatura del legno e sono contenta che si veda così tanto. Anche questa come le stampe più recenti è stampata sulla bellissima carta di @japanesepapercompany. E ora si continua a stampare. #mokuhanga #xilografiagiapponese #japanesewoodblock #artist #womanartist #printmaker #womanprintmaker #woodcut #printmaking #reliefprintmaking #exhibition https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFs9BrohCo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anche quest’anno per il mese del mio compleanno ho deciso di fare un po’ di festa. Ogni giorno posterò una mia stampa e per quel giorno la troverete in vendita ad un prezzo scontatissimo. E così siamo arrivati alla fine del mese.. tante stampe hanno trovato una nuova casa e io ne sono ovviamente stra felice. Oggi finiamo con il botto, con una stampa grande grande ad un prezzo piccolo piccolo. Grazie ancora a tutti per aver festeggiato con me! Solo oggi e solo su instagram/facebook : se interessati scrivetemi! Spedizioni in tutto il mondo. #happybirthdaytome but also #happybirthdaytoyou #mokuhanga #printmaker #womanprintmaker #womanartist #printmaking #woodblock #japanesepaper https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc920yhIeVI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
