Tues 12th October 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 later in the year.
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.
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)
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.
