Printmaking Workshop – Stamp Carving and Lino Cutting February 2nd 2025

Printmaking

Printmaking has been the interest of artists for many centuries. It can be unlike any marks painted or drawn. The spontaneity of mono printing and creating your own lino tile can allow for an element of freedom and surprise unlike any other media.
Printing techniques such as relief and lino printing can also be combined with more contemporary explorations into digital printing to show how flexible and creative this media can be. Hard and soft rollers are easy to manipulate and can be used with simple methods, such as stamping and frottage but with exciting and versatile results.
You will learn basic methods of lino cutting and select from a range of printing tools and types of paper necessary for each method while highlighting safe and responsible workplace practices.
This workshop will have you exploring some versatile lino printing techniques that will capture your imagination for printing on a variety of surfaces including a small hard board canvas, canvas paper and small cards for you to take home and frame.
