I spent another lovely afternoon with a local art group, taking them on their next step in their lino printing journey.
Earlier in the year I showed them how to do simple lino printing and some gradient printing, and today we moved on to chine collé lino printing, using collage to create colour.

We went through the process from the beginning, going through all the tools and materials and…

We were a bit shorter on participants due to various reasons that couldn’t be avoided, but as you can see, there were still plenty of fabulous knots created! There was time for a bit of experimenting too, for those who wanted to try…
