EVENT DETAILS:
Unleash Your Creativity with Linoleum Printmaking!
Dive into the timeless art of Linoleum Printmaking—also known as Linocut—and craft something truly unique! This exciting technique involves carving designs into a linoleum block using sharp tools like knives, V-shaped chisels, or gouges. The uncarved areas form a mirror image of your design, which comes to life once inked and pressed onto paper. Think greeting cards, stationery, wall art, or even your own custom stamps—the possibilities are endless!
In this fun, hands-on class, you’ll learn a new skill and take home not only your beautiful printed creations but also your custom-carved linoleum blocks to keep the creativity flowing!
Here’s What to Expect:
- Step 1: Watch & Learn
Kick things off with a live demo of the tools, materials, and techniques needed to craft one-of-a-kind prints. - Step 2: Design Your Masterpiece
Choose from provided stencils or sketch your own design to bring your ideas to life! Once finalized, you’ll transfer your design sketch onto your linoleum block. - Step 3: Practice Makes Perfect
Before carving your main block, test your skills on a small tester block to get comfortable with the tools. - Step 4: Carve Your Block
Let the fun begin! Using your newfound skills, carve a 4″ x 6″ linoleum block, perfect for printing on a card! - Step 5: Ink & Print
Roll out the ink and start printing! We’ll provide shades of red, black, and white inks along with high-quality cards to keep with the Valentine's theme.
What’s Included:
- Your very own take-home linoleum block for reuse
- All tools and materials to create your custom linocuts during the workshop
- 10 premium cards and ink to print your beautiful Valentine’s Day designs
- Aprons and gloves for a mess-free experience
💡 Pro Tip: Wear clothes you won’t mind getting a little inky, just in case!
