Japanese Printmaking Studio

Kiri Horikiri-White is leading a Japanese printmaking workshop at Salisbury Arts Centre on Wednesday 17 February 2027. It's a hands-on session where you'll get to work with ukiyo-e, the traditional Japanese woodblock prints known for their bold imagery and storytelling. You'll look at those classic prints and then see how contemporary artists still draw inspiration from them, and the whole thing is about making your own prints rather than just talking about them.

Horikiri-White is a British-Japanese artist and printmaker whose own work explores identity, memory and cultural heritage. She's run creative workshops across Wiltshire and the South West before this, so she knows her way around a room of people picking up a new skill. The session is part of the Arts Centre's Youth Arts programme, which is a range of technical, performance and theatre arts opportunities for young people to connect, collaborate and develop creative skills. It sits alongside other youth offerings like Jam Nights and Band Nights, free rehearsal spaces, and workshops in crafts, movement and performance arts.

On the practical side, all the materials are provided, so you don't need to bring your own kit. You'll just need to bring a water bottle and a packed lunch, and wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a bit messy in. The workshop runs on Wednesday 17 February at Salisbury Arts Centre.
