Join us for a brand new course at The Middle Floor - Introduction to Lino Print!

Lino printing, also known as linocut or lino cutting, is a traditional printmaking technique that involves cutting a design into a block of linoleum and then transferring the design to paper or fabric. During this course, we will design, carve, and print unique pieces of art inspired by relationships to identity, cultural heritage and celebration!

We will use our weight and momentum to move in an efficient-effortless way without disrupting the flow of movement.
