Lino printing is a printmaking technique which involves carving designs into linoleum sheets to create relief prints. It allows artists to create multiple identical prints with bold lines and strong contrasts, creating a distinctive aesthetic.
The process involves drawing a design on the linoleum and using tools to carve away areas that shouldn't receive ink. Ink is then applied to the raised surfaces with a roller and pressed onto paper or fabric to transfer the image.
This is a one-day workshop for anyone interested in learning about the basics of lino printing in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Your tutor will guide you through design considerations specific to this medium, including carving techniques, inking methods, and printing both by hand and with a press.
Designed for complete beginners, this course will introduce participants to the basic techniques, tools, and creative approaches to create beautiful relief prints.
