An evening exploring Linocut printmaking in my York based studio.
Explore Linocut printmaking as a medium from concept through to print.
You'll arrive with an idea — a place, creature, or short phrase that matters to you. I'll coach you on adapting it for linocut, then you'll transfer it to the block, carve it, and hand-print your first pulls the traditional way, with a baren and a wooden spoon. We can also make use of my press and we’ll try a number of different printing papers out too. Music, refreshments and cheese in the middle, and the chance to ask whatever you want about working as a printmaker in Yorkshire.
Your carved A6 lino block — yours to keep printing from at home
Two or three hand-pulled prints, signed and dated
A folded card explaining the process
The technique to keep printing at home with no equipment. A wooden spoon and your kitchen table is all you need. Your block can produce dozens more prints once you've left the workshop.
Your finished prints will dry in the studio and you can either collect them the following week or I'll post them to you.
Each workshop has a subject which we will explore via email before the workshop, and for which you will bring images, sketches or resource material along with you. June’s theme is landmarks that are important to you.
3 hours, 7–10pm Wednesday
£65 per person, paid in advance
6–8 places per session
All materials and refreshments included
Wear something you don't mind getting inky
