Description
This a fun and friendly workshop where you will spend the day designing, cutting and printing your own multi-coloured (2-3 layer) lino print using the reduction method. All materials and equipment are provided for you, however if you have a set of lino tools that you like to use, feel free to bring them along. Aprons are provided but wear scruffy clothes! A selection of images will be provided to inspire you but if you have an image you would like to use, please bring it along or email it to me before the day of the workshop. You will start the process with choosing your design and transferring it onto your piece of lino. Often people trace from photos to transfer the design, others are quite happy to draw freehand -- that is completely up to you. It can also be a mixture of tracing and free drawing. You will learn how to transfer your design in negative format onto the lino, use different size tools to carve away areas and leave the image for printing. The reduction method is a technique for achieving two or more colours in a single print while only using one block. You carve one layer, print onto a number of papers, carve some more, print again onto the same papers, and repeat as needed. The aim is that you will go home with a number of final prints that you are happy with and a much clearer understanding of the process.
