5.0 (5)

3 hours

1 to 18

$70 - $80 ($80 per student when you book for 1 student, $70 for 2+ students)

What you'll do

In this 3 hour workshop you will learn the skills of Linocut printmaking, and print your very own hand-cut works on paper. Once learned, this versatile and accessible technique can be applied to the creation of artist’s books, textile design, poster design and limited edition prints.

This class will cover carving out your image from a Silk Cut plate, line work and cutting techniques, safety, correct inking of a plate and hand printing. You will also be advised on how to hand colour your prints and introduce textures into your work.

You will take home a striking set of your own prints, your lino plate, full instructions and resource pdfs so you have the ability to print at home using this technique!

Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

A great night of creativity and learning new skills. Both tutors were helpful and very knowledgeable, sharing tips that we could take away with us to continue exploring the art of linocut. I was glad to be able to bring home a piece that I created during the workshop but also something that I can continue to work on and and see it evolve. Thank you!

The Lino printing class was EXCELLENT! Right mix of instruction before learning through experience. Chris and Claudia were available for consultation and I was able to print off several prints on different paper. Great value for money - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and can’t wait to sign up for another class

Really clear, explicit instruction, plenty of time to carve and print. They were both very friendly and approachable. Great class! Also loved the history of printmaking while we were cutting :)
Thank you!
