On this one day course you will create a single block, single colour design. There will be a warm up exercise so that you gain confidence, experiment with the cutting tools, learn how to roll ink and apply to your block and print. For the final linocut a 150mm x 150 mm square block (15 cm square) or rectangular block 105 mm x 148 mm can be used. Materials include all the equipment, professional inks, tools and paper.
You will be guided through the whole process from registration, design, single colour printing and carving techniques to produce a successful outcome. There will be guidance on how to translate your designs into positive and negative images suitable for lino.
