About this Event
A linocut is a type of relief print in which the artist carves an image into a lino block and what's left of the block is inked and printed. Linocut is a playful medium and allows the artist to experiment with numerous inking techniques, using the same block, to produce a variety of beautiful results
In this course, subsidised by the Barnet Guild of Artists, you will learn multiple techniques exploring how to:
