About

This class has prerequisites. Please see the description below before registering.

With your introductory level of linocut printmaking skills in your tool-box, it’s time to take it to the next level! This class  explores several linocut printmaking techniques you can use to create multi-color relief prints.

Techniques explored in this workshop:

Jigsaw Printmaking:

• Using one linoleum block to create multi-color prints by cutting the block into sections, inking each section individually, and then piecing them back together to run through the press.

Multi-Block Printmaking:

• Using more than one linoleum block to create multi-layer prints.

Registration Techniques:

• Learning how to make sure your blocks and paper line up perfectly!

• We talk about several techniques and use Ternes-Burton pins for registration.

Selective Inking Techniques:

• Inking different colors on one block

• Rainbow rolls and gradients

We will carve on unmounted ‘Battleship Gray Linoleum’ printing blocks and printing on Somerset Satin paper with Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash inks.

Materials Needed:

• All materials will be provided.
• Bring a simple design to use for this project. The blocks will be six inches square, so design to fit that size (or play with some pre-made designs we have at BARN).
