This LivePlus™ online workshop is designed to follow on beautifully from the Introduction to Linoprinting workshop with Karen in May, although it will include a brief refresher on the absolute basics of linoprinting in session one for those who are unable to attend both.
Workshop details
Linoprinting is a great technique to do at home…..easy to learn, minimum equipment and a whole host of variations once you’ve got the basics.
In this two-part workshop we will explore beyond the basics into colour and layers using a wide variety of techniques from freeform painterly approaches to registered layering for precise prints. A fun and creative workshop to expand your skills and experiment with some new ideas. Perfect for printing cards, wall art, fabric etc.
Session 1: There will be a very brief recap of basic techniques, however this session is all about exploring colour – we will be using blends & rainbow rolls, spot colour, masks, a nifty cutting and sticking technique, and the use of collage.
Session 2: We will start with making a basic registration device. We will then look at working in layers…..designing for a multi-layer linoprint; layering using polystyrene as a printing plate; freeform layering; & creating interesting backgrounds using the back of the plate for simple monoprinting.
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstrations – they are a time to watch, ask and learn. After each demo you will be given a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
