Class details
Next up in our 'Printing Without a Press' series is this festive printing class with Karen Carter. Learn some easy printing methods using basic lino-cutting techniques, together with simple stamps, to make greetings cards, tags, decorations, boxes & bags ready for Christmas.
We will be using ink pads, acrylic paints or printing inks during the workshop. Using lino and a selection of other materials, we will create simple printing plates to produce designs suitable for making a range of festive items quickly and easily.
Brown parcel paper or coloured paper can be decorated with a repeat pattern using simple stamps to make unique gift wrap or origami boxes. Fabric, such as calico or cotton, prints up beautifully to make festive fabric decorations and small cloth gift bags. And, of course, there are endless paper printed items along with cards and tags that can be made using these techniques.
A smattering of glitter and a touch of gold and silver paint will give everything a festive feel!
Specific skills you will learn
- Creating designs suitable for printing onto paper & cloth
- Making small printing plates from lino, erasers and foam/polystyrene
- Materials & tools for getting the best results when hand-printing
- A variety of inking & printing techniques
