Keen to learn an art form that combines creativity and technique? Join this fun print making class in VIC Country and explore the world of linocut printing.

In this class, you'll delve into the basics of linocut printing, discovering the joy of carving intricate designs onto linoleum to create your very own unique artworks.

You will have the creative freedom to draw your image, patterns, and/or shapes on pieces of lino prior to gouging. Your linocut can be as simple or as detailed as you choose.

This class will cover:

  • Introduction to the tools, resources and history of linocut printing
  • Working in a safe environment
  • Mark making and creating texture
  • Using stencils

Depending on your goals and vision, Deb will assist in technical aspects of the process, including colour theory and paint mixing and work with you on image and composition. If you just want to experiment, you are welcome to!

No experience in art, craft or lino cut printing is required for this workshop. Everything will be covered, and you will be walked through creating your own piece of unique art.

Note: Keep in mind that printing ink can take time to dry fully, so may need to be carried home flat and uncovered.

Deb Gartland is a self-taught traditional and contemporary fine art photographer, who goes around with a head full of high falutin’ ideas!

In 2019 Deb won the inaugural (acquisitive) Conceptual Photography Award - with a photo encaustic and mixed media piece. She won both overall winner and best entry by an Australian Photographic Society member.

Inspiration for Deb comes from the world around her, and she is particularly drawn to beaches, cliffs and the ocean. She thrives on the colours, textures and patterns in her life.

Grandiose images and worlds fill Deb's nightmares and dreamscapes, and she likes to create visually confronting images with her photography. She is not a purist, and from very early in her career has been pushing herself to break the rules and challenge boundaries.

As an encaustic (hot wax painting!) artist, Deb incorporates her photography, mixed media and sculptural components in her encaustic paintings - thus creating pieces that are unique, textural and highly tactile. Having attended an encaustic workshop around 2017, Deb has never looked back from working with this medium.

Deb's encaustic workshops require no experience and she runs them regularly as an intimate day with between one and four participants. Her encaustic workshops are popular with novice and experienced artists alike.
