Discovery the amazing possibilities of relief printmaking using linoleum. Relief prints, a time-honoured printmaking form, are enjoying a resurgence now and are a very satisfying way of making art. Linocut is a direct and simple printmaking technique in which a design is cut into a piece of linoleum with a knife, chisel or gouge, rolled up with ink, and printed by hand or with a press. First, we\u2019ll discover how to create compelling designs, how to transfer drawings to the lino-block, and how to use the various tools to create different marks, textures, and lines. We\u2019ll cut and hand print a simple design using those marks. From there, you\u2019ll have an opportunity to create and cut your own images and experiment with colour, using ink, paint, pencil, and\/or collage elements. Nontoxic, water-based inks and cleanup materials will be used.<\/p>\n
Drop-ins are welcome (based on space availability) or you can attend several classes for more in-depth study, or if you\u2019re working on a more involved project. Reference material will be supplied but feel free to bring photos, sketches, drawings, photo-copies and \/or printed images, stencils, and paper samples. You\u2019ll leave with some beautiful original hand-pulled prints. A wonderful way to begin art making or start again if you haven\u2019t done any for a while. No experience necessary. Suitable for both beginners and more advanced students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
