Lino Printing Workshop

Lino Printing Workshop

with Geoff Head

Be introduced to the linocut process and the materials required to produce single colour prints. The chine colle method of adding areas of colour to prints will also be explored.

Participants will need to bring a black and white image of leaves, seedpods, sticks or similar forms found in situ on an area of ground for inspiration from which images can be drawn. Larger clearer shapes will be easier to work with.

Geoff will discuss possible composition arrangements before developing images further and transferring them to the lino. After the carving process we will produce a small edition of prints on paper.

Participants will be able to take refreshment breaks as needed to allow maximum time for carving and printing.

10.15am-2pm, Saturday 28 March
