About

Linocut is a very accessible printmaking process - and SO much fun! Learn the fundamental methods so you can continue your creative explorations at home.

Techniques taught in this workshop:

• Cutting techniques and mark-making on a sample block.
• How to create a design for your linocut print and transfer your image to the prepped linocut block (bring ideas, drawings, and reference materials for your design, or "cut to the chase" with some ready-to-transfer design suggestions).
• Carving your block
• Inking it up
• Printing your block, both by hand and on a press
• Learn about and test different printmaking papers and other substrates.

We will be carving on unmounted battleship gray linoleum and "readycut" (softer) printing blocks.

Details

Bring some simple designs that you would like to use (six inches square or smaller), so we can spend our time carving and printing! We also will have some simple designs you can use or create a ‘"Notan" design (we will go over that process).
