Autumn leaves lino printing workshop for beginners
Upcoming date:
Sunday, 1 November, 1.15pm to 4.15pm
Venue: Land of Oak and Iron Heritage Centre, Winlaton Mill
3 hour workshop, £38 per person
This workshop can be booked on demand for a group of 2 to 3 people in my workshop, or for larger groups, such as art and craft groups, at your own venue. Please contact me to arrange a date.
This enjoyable 3‑hour workshop is ideal for absolute beginners, but is also perfect for those who’ve already had a little go at lino printing and would enjoy developing their skills in the friendly company of others.
You’ll begin by learning about the tools and materials used in lino printing, before creating a small texture block to practise basic carving techniques. Once you feel confident, you’ll move on to carving a leaf design into lino and learn how to print it by hand.
Inspired by the rich colours of autumn leaves, you’ll experiment with both plain and gradient colour printing to give your prints a warm, seasonal feel, as well as learning a technique to create prints with multi-coloured leaves.
This relaxed and creative workshop is a wonderful introduction — or refresher — to lino printing and will give you the confidence to continue this calming artform at home.
All materials for use on the workshop are provided.
