London show highlights influence of Chinese woodblock printing

LONDON - An exhibition exploring the development of traditional Chinese woodblock printing opened on Monday at the Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London.

Presented in four sections, the Ten Bamboo Studio Woodblock Printing Art Exhibition examines the history of ancient Chinese woodblock printing techniques and their development in the West, and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and cultural traditions of the art form.

Many of the 200 artworks or so on display, which were created collaboratively by a team of Chinese artists over several years, are being displayed to the British public for the first time.
