Service Description

What you will learn A two-session course which will take you through all you need to know about creating and printing a beautiful single-colour linocut. Linocut is a great way of creating striking designs with strong graphic qualities. It is a great way to start learning about printmaking as once you have cut your block, it is easy to print. No previous experience is needed for this course. Beginners are welcome, along with those who need a refresher. Course programme Session one: effective linocut design, linocut tools, markmaking and carving your linocut. Session two: registration and preparing your paper, printing and editioning. What’s included All basic materials such as paper, tools and equipment are provided. Additional linocut blocks and printmaking papers will be available to buy during the course if you would like to try something a bit different or take some materials home to try. Preparing for your course If you can bring a design, it would maximise your time cutting and printing. You'll be working on a piece of roughly A6 lino (100 x 152 mm), quite small, so don't make your design too complicated. It will need to be reversed (mirror image). Think about areas of solid black or white and the balance between them. Delicate black lines are more difficult to carve. White lines on black are the easiest to carve. Artists: Die Brucke, Lill Tschudi, Valenti Angelo, Kat Flint https://www.pinterest.co.uk/lindenstudio/linocut/ Food A range of teas, coffee and biscuits will be provided. What you might enjoy next You would probably enjoy exploring Reduction linocut, Letterpress or Woodblock courses.
