The exhibition will contain examples of the work of printmakers from Puerh (close to the Thai and Burmese borders) who have been at the developmental forefront in China of the technique known as reduction woodblock printing. Prints are produced from a single block of wood which is cut, printed, cut and printed again up to 20 times with 20 different colours.
