This is a 6 hour hands-on course where you will learn how to carve and print a multi-coloured linocut by hand. You will be guided through the process of designing, carving and printing your own series of reduction prints.
In this workshop you will learn how to carve and print a 2 to 3 colour linocut print by hand. This 6 hour hands-on workshop is designed for those who have completed the introduction to linocut workshop. You will be guided through the process of designing, carving and printing your own reduction print. You will learn how to create, carve and print your own 2 to 3 colour reduction linocut during this one-day course.
In reduction lino the design is produced from one single lino block, layering up the colour each time the lino block is cut. It is an interesting and challenging technique to learn and by the end of the session there will be little left of your lino block.
By the end of the workshop you will have a small edition of your own colourful prints and the knowledge and skills to continue your lino printing journey at home. You may wish to bring some of your own images to work from, however plenty of inspiration will be at hand to help you decide.
All equipment and materials are provided. Please bring your own apron or old clothes to work in.
