An introduction to lino print
Advertisement
In this one-day course you will learn all the processes involved in designing, carving and printing a lino block. We will start the day by making some quick and simple observational drawings from plants at the Botanic Garden and then develop these to create a design to transfer onto the lino block. You will learn how to use the tools safely and print without the use of a press using hand burnishing. We will be using water-based inks, traditional hessian backed lino and strong lightweight Japanese paper. You will be able to take home your prints and block, which you can continue printing with at home. All materials will be provided. It is suggested that you wear old clothes and or an apron as it can get quite messy.
The course is aimed at beginners and those with little and some experience of lino printing.
