Learn and explore the basics of linocut on this one day workshop.

Lino is a relief printing process. The printing plate can be made from traditional hessian backed flooring lino or a polymer based block. We will use an easy cut lino which is softer and easier to use. You will be shown how to safely cut and carve an image or pattern into the lino using specialist cutting tools. You will be shown how to ink up and print the lino using our traditional Albion press and also some simple but effective methods that can be continued at home without a press.

What experience do I need?

The course is suitable for absolute beginners. Lino printing is a simple way for you to be introduced to printmaking. You’ll learn about inks, paper, rollers and various printing techniques using presses and hand burnishing techniques. If you have an established artistic practice you can develop prints in new ways. Don’t have any expectations and you may be surprised at the results you achieve!
