Over the course of the class you’ll practice some techniques before creating a colour linocut, carving the lino to your own design andprinting your linocut onto paper.
Your tutors
Carolyn Murphy and Cate Gibson are local artists and printmakers, who have been linocut
printmaking for over 10 years. Find them on Instagram @carolynmurphyprintmaker and
@cate_gibson7.
What should I bring?
Materials and aprons are provided but we need you to bring an idea or two for a linocut design. Linocut printing can be messy - we use water-based ink which is washable and Sett does have aprons for you to use, but we'd recommend you wear clothes you don't mind getting messy in.
What materials and equipment are provided?
You will receive a small piece of lino / vinyl to practice cutting, as well as another piece of
lino / vinyl (15 x 10 cm in size) to create your design. You will be able to borrow Carolyn &
Cate's lino cutting tools to cut lino during the workshop. We will be printing by hand, so you
will learn how to print lino without using a printing press. Water-based ink and paper will also be provided.
Are there minimum age requirements for the workshop?
You need to be aged 18 or over for this workshop. Linocut printmaking uses sharp cutting
tools and our insurance means that we cannot include children and young people, sorry.
