Dive into a weekend of joyful linocut printmaking in this immersive workshop, designed to teach you everything from my 6-week evening course but in two dynamic days!
Over both days, you’ll learn:
  • Introduction to Linocut: the history and techniques, as well as contemporary artists
  • The essential materials and tools used, including linoleum blocks, carving tools, and inks
  • The principles of design and composition, allowing you to create visually compelling prints
  • Methods for transferring your design onto lino
  • Carving and mark-making techniques - including ‘jigsaw’
  • Colour application - including inking techniques and chine collé
  • Preparing the block, to pulling prints and registration methods
  • Print using a relief press and burnishing by hand for successful prints at home.
  • Studio safety and best practices when handling linocut tools and operating presses.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand or improve your relief printmaking, this hands-on weekend course provides the tools and techniques, whilst encouraging you to experiment and explore.
