Wed 17th February 10am - 12pm workshop demo with Q&A
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online linoprinting workshop is designed for absolute beginners and forms the perfect lead-in to Karen's three-part Linoprinting: Beyond the Basics course in March.
Workshop details
In this 2-hour beginners workshop, Karen will show you that linoprinting is a great technique to do at home…easy to learn, using minimal equipment with a whole host of variations available once you’ve got the basics.
Forget the blunt tools and tough lino of school days and enjoy the process of linoprinting with soft-cut lino and a whole range of approaches. Perfect for printing cards, wall art, fabric etc.
This session will include all the basics; tools, materials, elements of design, different cutting techniques, and inking & printing in black & white.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop:
Materials & equipment list
Materials are not included in the course fee. All the materials and equipment you will need are listed below. This list is for guidance only - you can improvise and source your own materials, either in advance or once you have seen the LivePlus workshop, giving you maximum flexibility to choose how you would like to approach this craft.
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstration – the demo session is a time to watch, ask and learn. After the demo you will be sent a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
Most suppliers have ‘starter kits’ for linoprinting – they vary in price according to content and usually contain the water-based block printing inks – but are worth considering as an easy way to get started. (Check they contain soft-cut lino rather than traditional lino)

- Lightweight cartridge paper or Japanese paper (Shoji is great and can also be used for Drypoint, Monoprint & Collagraph when printing by hand) – available from Intaglio Printmakers or Handprinted
- Caligo Safewash Relief Ink – Black OR a black water-based block-printing ink (make sure they are ‘over-printable’ for layered work)…these are generally cheaper but not as versatile.
- Softcut or Easy-cut Lino (A5 size is good for starters and can be cut to square, long thin etc)
- Set of linocutting tools
- Roller or brayer
