Description

The aim is to provide a relaxed, friendly, supportive, experimental and fun experience where you will learn a new (or revive a previous) skill and take home something you feel proud enough to frame! You will have the opportunity to create your own, individual, linocut artwork. As well as being part of a group you will also receive lots of one-to-one tuition to help you achieve the best outcome. The day: • 09.50 for 10.00am start • 13.00 Lunch • 16.00 Finish We will start by preparing an image ready to be transferred onto lino, then you will cut your lino design. Please bring your own imagery if you have something specific in mind or select from a range of starting points which will be available. You will have an opportunity to prepare and experiment with a range of traditional and coloured papers to print your lino design onto. We usually prepare and cut in the morning and then spend the afternoon printing. The aim is that you will take home new skills you can continue at home with the minimum of equipment.

What's included in the price?

If you have a particular theme or image you would like to work from please bring it along – your own drawings, photographs or magazine cuttings are all good source materials – but don’t worry if you haven’t got anything – there will be imagery to choose from. - Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy and/or an apron. What we will provide: - The workshop will take place in a light filled, open space, next to an inspirational gallery space. - All materials and equipment will be provided. - There is a cafe on site offering a range of hot and cold drinks, snacks, homemade cakes and a lunch menu.

It's all about exploring possibilities with colour, shape, layers, pattern and textures - which I love to do within my own work, creating a range of prints and collages on paper, fabric and cards.

Liz Curtis reviewed: Introduction to Lino Printing in Cambridgeshire

"Great workshop, loved that I actually produced some artwork! Judith is a lovely tutor, explains things really well. My only complaint was the whole place although really super was freezing! But that’s my only moan. All in all a lovely day with my sister. "

print paper stitch experiences responded:

"Thank you Liz, it really was a pleasure to help you and your sister create your lovely lino prints. I have passed on you feedback to the venue I hire for the workshops, it was very disappointing it was so chilly that day and I appreciate your positive comments despite your discomfort. I hope you continue printing! "
