Create striking original art under the guidance and tuition of artist and printmaker Emily Brooks.Suitable for both beginners and those with a little experience, this one-day workshop will give you the skills and confidence to continue printmaking at home.
We will provide a relaxed and nurturing atmosphere and you will get the opportunity to work at your own pace.
In the weeks before the workshop, we’ll be in contact by email with notes on choosing a suitable image to work from. Bringing pre-selected images and ideas will enable us to spend more time printing on the day. And if you are struggling for ideas, we can help with that too - even people who say they cannot draw create beautiful linocut prints.
By the end of the workshop you’ll have designed, cut and printed your own single-colour artworks to take home, which can be framed or made into cards.
The course will cover:
An introduction to linocut printing.
- Creating and printing a sampler to gain confidence with carving tools and try different mark-making techniques.
- Developing your final design, with support if needed.
- Transferring the design onto a lino block and carving.
- Ink rolling and hand-printing in a variety of single colours using a choice of water-based printing inks.
- Advice and tuition will be on-hand at every step.
This workshop is £81pp including all materials. Included in the cost of your workshop is lunch from the extremely popular Jan's Sandwiches and cakes from Plant by Kats Kitchen!
