This one-day course will offer students both the confidence and skills required to undertake multi-block lino printing, a method of block printing in which more than one piece of lino is used to create the final image.
22nd July 2023 | 10:00am - 4:00pm | Fee £60 | Booking is essential
Discover the art of multi-block lino printing. Join us for a hands-on workshop and learn how to create layered prints.
Students will explore the following - image selection, lino preparation, image transfer, ink mixing (you will be taught how to mix oil-based colours and use them to produce overlays of colour not obtainable by the more traditional water-based inks) and block registration.
Paper, inks, lino, registration boards, cutters, rollers, and cleaners will be provided but the participants are encouraged to bring their own tools if preferred.
