Lino cut printing on an Autumn theme

Sunday 28th September 10am – 4pm.

On this workshop you will learn each stage of the process of lino-cut printing, from drawing and cutting out your design, to mixing ink and applying it to your lino. You will also be shown how to use my table top printing press to produce your prints.

Lino-cut printing is very popular and prints created using this technique have a very distinctive look. ‘Soft cut’ lino is easier to work with than wood or traditional lino and is an excellent introduction to block printing in general.

As the workshop is in September, I thought it might be nice to use an Autumn theme for inspiration. I’ll bring lots of inspiration for you to look at and please do bring along any Autumn themed imagery, sketches, photos, etc that you would like to work from too. If you prefer to work to another theme though of course, this is fine.

We will be using colourful water based inks to print onto a selection of different papers and at the end of the day, you will have several original and unique prints to take home and frame. I will also provide cards so you can print your own set of Autumn themed cards if you like!

Bring your own lunch and I will provide homemade cakes and biscuits and tea coffee, juice, etc, throughout the day for those peckish moments.

All equipment and materials provided and no previous experience necessary.  Bring an apron or wear clothes that can get messy.

This workshop is for complete beginners or for those with previous printmaking experience.

I’m looking forward to it!
