Wednesday 17 January 2024 - How to make jigsaw linocut prints
The first multi-colour lino print workshop of the year, learning how to make two-colour and three-colour linocut prints using the jigsaw technique.
Carol created a three-colour print of a heritage building. Terry made a three-colour print inspired by wild swimming with her friends, Janet made a partridge in a pear tree Christmas card, and Chris created a two-colour print of bids in the hedgerow.
What did you enjoy the most about the day
“Able to take part in another linocut workshop. Extend experience with two colours. Meet others and seeing different results.”
“The excellent, clear teaching, the relaxed atmosphere. No pressure.”
“Being encouraged to do something that I thought was too complicated (and therefore beyond me). Being inspired by others ideas. “
“Learning how to cut and print. So well explained.”
If you want to learn how to make multi-colour prints using the multi-block method, my multi-block online course can be started anytime.

Linocut workshops in Yorkshire
My linocut workshops are all held in my York print studio. I teach in small groups of four people, so everyone gets lots of one-to-one tuition.

About the author
Michelle Hughes is a North Yorkshire landscape artist. Much of her work depicts the Yorkshire landscape and Yorkshire coast, including the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
Michelle loves exploring the British countryside by bike or on foot, camera in hand, capturing ideas for her next prints. Back in her garden studio, Michelle creates simple but stylised silhouettes based on her photographs, and hand carves these shapes into lino. She hand prints with an etching press, using oil-based inks to create tonal blocks of colour.
Michelle’s original linocut prints are limited editions.
