Learn manual engraving and printing techniques to create one-of-a kind spaces
A gouge is a thin, half-round cutting tool used by carpenters and other craftsmen to carve curved surfaces. This is the dictionary definition, but for Pablo Salvaje it is so much more than that. For him, a gouge is an extension of his own hand that has allowed him to create some of his best pieces and travel the world doing what he loves.
In this course, this versatile artist from Seville accompanies you in the process of creating an art installation using relief engraving and stamping to create a mural for the space of your choice.
This is Pablo's second Domestika course, following Engraving Stamps and Printing Techniques, which can be taken as a complement to this course.

Requirements and materials
No previous experience is required in drawing, design, or using a gouge, although having this knowledge could prove useful.
As for materials, you need a set of gouges with different tips, a carving surface (wood or rubber), a smooth wall, or a large surface for your mural, ink and acrylic paint, a paintbrush, pencil, tracing paper, stamping paper, a roller, silicone, nails, hammer, and a cutting tool or saw.
Finally, you need materials from home or from nature from which you can extract textures: shells, snails, sea urchins, dried flowers, or even avocado skin.

A course by Pablo Salvaje
Pablo Salvaje is an illustrator, engraver, and printmaker born in Seville (Spain) who is currently in a stable relationship with his gouge, from which he has not separated himself for over seven years. He has used this tool to work on projects for clients such as Hyundai, Pinzat, and Desigual and has published a book, Alma Animal, which includes his wildest illustrations.
In 2015, he founded the private studio La Selva Bcn in Barcelona, a creation space where he teaches printing workshops for all audiences.
With nature as his muse, Pablo Salvaje's work aims to leave its mark, literally and figuratively, and create awareness about the planet we inhabit.
