The Second Muban Educational Trust Woodblock Printmaking Award

In March 2016, the Muban Educational Trust announced three Winners of the Second Muban Educational Trust’s Woodblock Printmaking Awards. First Prize goes to Gu Xiuhua, from Tinajin Academy of Fine Arts. Joint Second Prize Winners are Wang Qifan from Central Academy of Fine Arts and Xu Na from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts.

69 final year undergraduate and post-graduate students from academies of arts in many parts of China applied to the Award with a selection of their current work as digital images. Working from these images a short list of 10 applicants was agreed. Each of the short listed students were then asked to send three original prints that they considered best represented their use of the medium of the woodblock print.

These years judges include:

Anne Farrer – Sotheby’s Institute of Art, the Muban Educational Trust

David Barker – The Muban Educational Trust

Weimin He – Ruskin School of Art

Clarissa von Spee – The British Museum

Kevin McLoughlin – Independent Scholar
