A refreshing take on lino printing.
This one-day intensive and creative workshop explores ways of using linocut printing techniques. You'll be shown the basic method and will be given your own piece of easy cut lino to make your own project design. You'll then cut your design into the surface and print multiple layers of colours in a variety of ways.
All materials are included. You will need to bring protective clothing - such as an old shirt - to cover your sleeves and front as the inks can stain fabrics. The inks will take at least 24 hours to dry so your prints will need a carrying folio and somewhere to dry once you get them home.
The workshop is suitable for those with little or no experience as well as advanced, you'll need some manual dexterity to manage the block cutting. There will be a 30 minute lunch break within the session - feel free to bring packed lunch to the studios.
The workshop is taught by Linda Newcombe, who is an artist who has been printmaking for over 35 years and includes it in her practice to play with ideas and colours. Having made a mess of her first forays into lino printing, she returned to is after 30 years and loves what it offers. She is particularly keen on using printmaking to explore layers and experiment with different effects, and likes the bold shapes and textures lino affords.
This workshop is for adults. Please note that this workshop needs a minimum number of bookings to go ahead.
