About this Event
Spend the morning getting inky! and learn how to design, carve and print your own designs using the lino cut technique.
You will have the oppurtunity to create an edition of prints and/or or some Christmas cards.
In this 3 hour workshop, you will learn:
- How to create a design perfect for lino print
- How to transfer your drawing onto lino
- How to carve a lino block using different techniques to create interesting patterns and textures
- How to mix inks to create your own colours
- How to print your designs
- How to sign and edition your prints
As well as an edition of your own beautiful artwork, you will also take home a fact sheet - with hints and tips on how to print at home, where to buy supplies, and artists to look at for inspiration.
We will be using safe wash inks in this workshop, but we still advise that you bring an apron - or wear clothes you don't mind getting inky.
