Ever wanted to print a lino block with different coloured sections without hand colouring?
Unleash your creativity with the expressive power of jigsaw linocut—where a single carved block is cut into multiple pieces to produce vibrant, multi-coloured prints in just one impression!
This immersive, hands-on workshop will take you from concept to colourful print in two inspiring days. Guided by experienced printmaker Rachael Lee, you'll learn foundational techniques, plus insider tips and tricks honed over years of professional practise.
What you’ll learn:
  • Introduction to linocut tools and materials
  • How to plan and carve a jigsaw block
  • Easy image transfer and layout techniques
  • Proofing and refining your image
  • Colour inking and printing methods
  • Tips for registration and alignment
Create your own edition of handmade prints using your original drawing or a photo reference as inspiration - perhaps your pet dog, a favourite flower, or a memory from a recent travel experience.
This is a 2-day workshop:
Day 1: Carve & Proof
Learn the fundamentals of jigsaw linocut: from planning and transferring your design to carving and safely cutting your lino block into puzzle-like pieces. You’ll then reassemble and proof your block to fine-tune the image.
Day 2: Print & Play
With your block ready, you’ll explore colour mixing, inking techniques, and print multiple vibrant combinations using your jigsaw pieces. Play with layout, colour combinations and colour intensity to produce your own edition of colourful prints.

Location

Art from the Urban Wilderness at Hive Studios - Hive Studios, Unit 13/10 Depot Street, Banyo QLD

The studio is located in a commercial complex on the corner of Earnshaw Road and Depot Street, near the old Golden Circle Cannery. As you enter the complex, look for the number #13 and the Art from the Urban Wilderness signs. There are 3 onsite car parks. During the week, we recommend you park on the road and walk up the driveway. If you have lots of gear you can drop it off and then park. If you need to park close to the door for accessibility reasons, let us know prior so we can reserve a park for you. On weekends or after hours, you can park within the complex in a marked car parking bay (not in front of roller doors), as its very quiet then.
