Limited places available, book early. This unique class will be in the artist’s London studio where she will present and talk about her work; Rebecca will put up a series of works that form part of one body of work but spread across print/drawing and canvas. This will be followed by a demonstration of Japanese woodblock printing and approaches to ideas and techniques.
