Introduction to linocut printing workshop

​

Learn how to design, carve and print your own unique linocut print.

 

What you will learn

• Understand vocabulary and techniques of printmaking.

• Develop a clear understanding of planning and creating a successful print. 

• Hand-burnish a simple limited edition one-colour print using Softcut lino and oil-based inks.  

• Take home a print that you can frame. 

​​

During the morning, you learn about materials and tools, cut and print a test print and then plan your
final design. In the afternoon, you cut and print your chosen design.

​

Location

Workshops will be held in my light and hopefully sunny garden studio in Holgate, York. 

Free on-street parking. Bikes can be stored securely in my carport.

​

Duration

10am – 4pm. Half an hour for lunch.

​

Workshop cost

£90 per person, including materials, drinks and homemade cake. 

​

Workshop size

A maximum of four students in each workshop, so you get lots of one-to-one teaching.

 

Refreshments 

Tea, herbal teas and coffee. We’ll have tea and cake together to round off the day. Please bring a packed lunch.

​

Previous experience

Suitable for beginners. Please let me know your previous art and/or printmaking experience so I can tailor the workshop to suit you.

​

Please bring with you

Before the workshop think about the image you want to design and linocut. This could be a favourite landscape photo, flower or tree image. Please bring some inspiration, a Pinterest mood board, or sketches. Ideas to follow will also be available on the day if needed.

​

Materials and equipment

Lino cutting equipment will be provided for each student to use on the day. A reasonable amount of paper and ink will also be provided.

​

Suitable clothing

I use oil-based inks, which will stain clothing. Please wear old clothes. Aprons and plastic gloves will be provided.
