Welcome to printmaking! Something I've always been passionate about!
My printmaking journey began as an illustration student at University of Gloucestershire in 2008, where I spent many hours in the print room, experimenting with all types of printing. Since 2013, I facilitated many printmaking workshops and took part in many, learning from fellow artists, including: Gloucestershire Printmaking Cooperative, Broadway Arts Festival, New Brewery Arts Cirencester, Spike Island Print Studio, University of Gloucestershire and Worcester University. In 2024, I worked with the Polish community in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Together, we produced a patchwork exploring our stories of migrations. Our work was exhibited at the Gloucester Cathedral in September 2024. Most recently, I focus on working with students in a higher education sector and developing my printmaking sills and freelancing on mural projects when possible!
2024 was a magical year, when I traveled to JAPAN, to learn the beautiful MOKUHANGA technique.I can’t stop thinking about the magical time there, learning tradition woodcutting skills. My mind drifts away through the green woodlands, parks, and gardens I visited, listening to cicadas and nature, drawing, sketching in blistering heat, hiding in shadows, and enjoying the silence far away from home. But it felt like home for six weeks, which I thoroughly enjoyed and explored. I came back with new energy and ideas and want to focus on printing and sharing it through a series of affordable workshops and tester sessions (see links below):INKED Festival of Print 2025 — Nichola Goff
MOKUHANGA is a traditional Japanese water-based woodblock printing technique. It is an eco-friendly printmaking technique, which doesn't doesn't require heavy machinery for printing, and it produces a very delicate, watercolor-like imagery.
