This is one of 3 courses dedicated to three different linocutting techniques: Lino Printing 1: Monochrome Linocut (using dramatic and bold effects of black and white), Lino Printing 2: Reduction Linocut (making and experimenting with a 2 or 3 colour design) Lino Printing 3: Multiple Block Linocut, (using different blocks for different colours, creating beautiful overlapping transparent colours).
The three 4 session courses can be combined in any order to make a comprehensive 12-week linocutting course.

You will gain an understanding of the principles of block and relief printing, and practice of making prints with and without the use of a press. You will be instructed in the use of presses, rollers, inks, and papers and will taught best print room practices. You will develop ability to use these techniques which can be applied in a variety of ways, and will be able to plan and create your own print work. By the end of the course you will have a good understanding of how to use techniques which may be practiced at home.
You will learn how to use the materials and processes to produce your own limited edition of linocut prints, and consider how to present them to an audience. You will learn how to use the medium to make strong tones, graphic shapes and dramatic patterns. You will be able to explore aspects of composition, tone and texture, and add coloured elements using Chine Colle techniques.
You can progress to other linocut courses, which run throughout the year. Other Printmaking courses are a good option to develop your print portfolio, or consider joining our Makerspace for those with previous experience.
I’ve enjoyed working with different mediums and doing lots of things that I hadn’t done before. Not many schools can offer the facilities that they have here.”
No experience is necessary this is a fully guided course and you will be supported by our very experienced tutor throughout. You will be transferring a design onto your own lino block so come with some simple strong and bold images that you could use for reference. All lino cutters will be supplied, and health and safety briefings will be given, as cutting tools are sharp.
