Lino cutting and block printing in New Romney, Kent

Description

Discover the art of lino cutting and block printing in this engaging and hands-on workshop! Lino cutting is a creative printmaking technique where designs are carved into a soft material, creating a reusable printing block. Once carved, the block is coated with ink and pressed onto paper, fabric, or other surfaces to transfer the design. This method is similar to woodcutting but uses a softer medium, making it easier to carve and a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced printmakers. Its versatility and accessibility have made it a popular medium for creating bold and striking prints. In this workshop, you’ll explore a fun and creative outlet while learning valuable artistic techniques in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our experienced instructors will guide you through every step of the process—from brainstorming and sketching your design to carving and printing your own handmade creations. By the end of the day, you’ll have built artistic confidence and practical skills in lino cutting and block printing. You’ll leave with your custom-carved lino blocks and a collection of beautifully crafted paper and fabric prints, ready to share or display with pride.
