Sean Kenan’s scratchboard art reveals the line in stunning black and white. The effect is similar to wood cut or wood engraving.

To create a scratchboard, a thin layer of clay is applied to a board and covered in indian ink. Scratching the black surface reveals the white clay surface underneath. The works are not prints: each one is an original creation.

No experience in art or scratchboard needed: beginners welcome. All materials provided.

Sean says: ‘A single line can express vitality, just like a single note on a violin’.

His training in graphic design and his enduring interest in drawing and woodcarving led him to experiment with scratchboard, and now he’s sharing his skills through this workshop.
