It’s often said that printmaking is where craft meets art. Come and explore the craft of carving lino to create an original artwork. Under the guidance of local printmaker Jo Boddy you not only experience the thrill of peeling your own print back from a plate you have cut, but will take the next steps in linocut printmaking and add a second colour.
What to expect:
You will be guided through the process of making a simple line drawing, transferring this to lino, cutting the design and printing it in one colour and then either cutting a second plate or recutting your existing plate to add a further colour. You’ll be shown how to ‘register’ your prints so that you can overlay the second colour confidently.
We will be printing by hand burnishing and there will be a small relief press available to share.
All inks, lino, a selection of papers and other equipment is provided.
You will leave with several impressions of your print and your carved lino plate(s).
What to bring:
You may like to bring an idea of a subject or design with you, but there will be some images for you to choose from should inspiration fail.
An apron or old shirt is very useful to protect clothes as we will be using oil-based inks.
10.15am to 4.15pm, with a 30 minute break for lunch.
The session will be held in the studio on level 1.
This workshop is suitable for over 18’s
