Description

This printmaking kit is my mid range CLASSIC option, suitable for a complete beginner or somebody who tried this relaxing arts activity in the past and wants to revisit! As an Artist myself I use these items in my own Printwork – I’m Catherine an Artist based in Liverpool UK where I also teach in person workshops. I put together this kit along with written step by step instructions, design templates and a series of video tutorials which range from very basic to more advanced techniques. I offer a wide range of printing kits to suit every budget. No matter which kit you choose, each gives you a good starting point from which you can decide if you enjoy it! Warning - it's addictive!! You will get mindfully lost in the cutting process and then feel uplifted when you come to working with the sumptuous printing inks. Set aside an hour to cut the lino & another hour for printing, enough time to complete a small print project. All my kits are put together by myself & 2 local artist friends. Together in my art studio, we unpack deliveries, check everything is clean & working, carefully wrap & package, stamping by hand as we go. I am keen to keep a 'handmade' feel to my kits, the same as with my artwork & workshops. The great thing about lino printing is that you can learn at your own pace, make it as easy or difficult as you like. Such a beautiful process made popular by Matisse & Picasso due to its simplicity. Please visit my video channel to meet me in person & check out the free tutorial videos. www.Youtube.com/c/CatherineCarmyllie I am happy to post directly to somebody as a gift and can include a hand written gift tag message if you provide that text at point of ordering by message. Inks are water based so please feel free to thrown them all over yourself (also easy clean up...) Most popular colour option is black & blue which i include as standard. You can message me at ordering to provide a different colour choice if you prefer. Otherwise black/blue option is dispatched. Black, white, chilli red, canary yellow, true blue, emerald green, mustard, purple, pea green, teal, forest green, espresso martini, burnt sienna, pink clay, ice blue, pomegranate, metallic mint, pumpkin orange

Neil B reviewed: Linocut & print for beginners with Artist Catherine Carmyllie

"Great course. Just the right level of information from Catherine at the start and then most of the time learning by going with advice and support if needed. I hoped to gain the confidence and tips to get started with lino printing and that's exactly what I got from the session (along with several versions of the block I created and printed). Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn about lino cut printing, or just to have a go at something new in a small group."

Catherine Carmyllie Artist responded:

"Thanks Neil appreciate the time you took to write this, maybe see you soon on the intermediate lino print class :)"
