Open to all ages, this series of demonstrations with Bewick expert Iain Bain, will inspire and intrigue. On a press of the kind used towards the end of Bewick’s time, you can see prints being taken off original woodblocks he engraved more than 200 years ago. These tiny and extraordinary vignettes print as well now as they did when first produced. No need to book. Just drop in.
