Interactive Exhibition “Novgorod Print Workshop”

The Novgorod Print Workshop is on the Trade Side of Veliky Novgorod within the historic Yaroslav's Court and Market complex, in the basement of the protected “Trading Rows, 18th century” building. In its old vaulted room and well-equipped studio, visitors can study printmaking techniques and create works in monotype, linocut and etching. Sketches from life can be transformed into prints, and staff explain how to sign an engraving and identify the technique from an impression. Visitors can also make handmade paper and paint a study on it, work with a reed pen, bind and decorate a book, learn what a bookplate is and design one for a personal library. Workshops are offered for children, art enthusiasts and professionals, including linocut at different levels, etching and other techniques.
