In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of lino carving and printing and will create a simple nature themed lino print.
We’ll start by getting used to the carving tools and the carving material and learning how to create different marks with the tools. Once you feel comfortable with using the tools, we’ll move on to carving out a nature themed design. I have a range of designs to choose from, and you can decide what level of detail you would like to work with.
Once the design is carved, we’ll go through the process of inking and printing up the carving, with plenty of advice on how to get a great print. We hand print the lino, without a press, so the method you learn means you will be able to continue lino printing at home. We’ll also have a play with printing up in colour and gradients.
You will come home with a selection of lino prints printed up from your hand carved lino, that you can frame or make into greetings cards.
This is a great, simple workshop for beginners to lino printing.
About the workshop space:
The workshop is held in the workshop studio in my own home, just outside Stanley, County Durham. Please note: access to my home involves stairs.
There is a maximum number of three people on the workshop, so you will receive plenty of individual attention and tuition. Why not join up with a friend and spend a creative day together?
