About
Linocut is a very accessible (and very fun!) printmaking process. Learn the fundamental methods in this one-day workshop and continue your creative explorations at home.
This workshop is open to all experience levels.
Techniques taught in this workshop:
- Learn about the process, tools, and materials needed for relief printing.
- Practice cutting techniques and mark-making on a sample block.
- Create a design for your linocut print using cut-paper Notan, a Japanese design concept that means “light-dark harmony."
- Transfer your image to the prepped linocut block.
- Carve your block and ink it up.
- Print your block, both by hand and on a press.
- Learn about and test different printmaking papers and other substrates.
We will be carving on unmounted ‘Battleship Gray Linoleum’ printing blocks.
All materials will be provided. Leave this workshop with your carved block and finished prints, and a list of materials that will enable you to continue your journey with linocut printing.
Materials Needed:
- Have an idea for your linocut print using cut-paper Notan or bring your own design ideas. If you choose a Notan design, you will have the opportunity to create it in class.
