Cut, ink, layer, repeat. Ready to elevate your printmaking? Join Sally-Ann and learn the mesmerising art of multi-coloured linocut printing. Using just one block, you'll plan precise cuts and layer coloured inks to watch your unique vision come to life.
Sally-Ann will lead you step by step through the linocut printing process, learning how to use carving tools, then carving and printing a two-colour linocut. You'll also learn to use the printing press, and how to print by hand using a simple spoon or jam jar. She'll send you home feeling confident enough to continue printing with lino in your own home.
Workshop Highlights:
Step-by-Step Guidance: Sally-Ann personally guides you through design selection, block carving, and layering colours, offering personalised attention and expert tips.
Quality Materials: Provided lino blocks, carving tools, and vibrant, professional-grade inks ensure lasting artwork. If you do have your own carving tools, you are welcome to bring them along.
Inspirational Environment: Immerse yourself in a creative, supportive atmosphere surrounded by like-minded artists.
Intimate class of 12 enables personalised learning.
All materials are provided.
