About this Event
Tag a long to a festive-themed Lino printing workshop on Saturday the 23rd of November at the At the ARC Community Space based in Nottingham. Marcus is a Graphic designer, illustrator and print maker who is able to capture striking and colourful designs in his art.
This workshop is designed to get you excited about the wonderful medium of lino printing in a small group setting of up to 6 people. It'll be the perfect opportunity to create Christmas inspired cards and designs for your friends and family! Hand-crafted gifts also make great presents too, and show off your amazing craftiness!
The workshop will start with sketching your chosen designs, before using carbon paper to transfer it onto the lino to carve. You are welcome to bring along any references or ideas you have in mind, this could be a beloved pet, family member or any sketches you'd like to work with. You'll have the opportunity to print using a variety of lovely types of hand-made papers to create unique and captivating results. All equipment including lino plates, carving tools and ink will be all provided by Marcus. Participants of all abilities are welcome and no previous experience is required.
Your finished carved linoplate will be loaded into a printing press where Marcus will demonstrate how to effectively mix colours and print on a variety of hand-made papers.
Lunchtime will be set at 12:30 am you are welcome to bring your own lunch or snacks as well with you. I look forward to seeing you then :-)
