How to create a small floral themed reduction Lino Print Workshop for beginners or improvers

Alexandra will show you how to create a small floral themed reduction lino print. A reduction linocut is a multi-layered print which is created by repeated cutting and printing from the same block of lino. The tuition is suitable for beginners or improvers. All the equipment and materials will be provided, but please bring along any images of flowers that inspire you.

You will learn how to plan a design and transfer it to the lino; how to cut the lino; how to ink up the lino and how to print it by hand. You will also learn how to correctly register your prints. We will be using water based inks and soft cut lino. You will leave with a small run of prints.

Alexandra lives in Bicester and draws inspiration from countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape. These scenic discoveries are transformed into colourful, impressionistic linocuts. Themes for Alexandra’s prints include sun streaming through woodlands and trees, twinkling water and reflections, carpets of flowers, expansive rocky coastlines and nostalgic seaside scenes. More recently, adventures from a trip to Japan have sparked a collection of works.

Alexandra has been a full-time printmaker since 2012. Her linocuts have been displayed at the Royal Academy, the Bankside Gallery and Mall Galleries in London and her work sells to collectors across the UK and internationally.

She is a member of the Oxford Art Society and regularly participates in open studio events in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
