Description

Have you admired the crisp graphic simplicity of lino-cut prints? Why not give it a go yourself? Mandy will take you through finding suitable design ideas, simplifying and interpreting them with a range of mark-making techniques that give that characteristic look. This course is ideal for beginners and for more experienced printmakers who want to develop their skills a bit further. You will learn to use cutting tools safely and effectively, print in more than one colour and try out a variety of printing papers. You can even use a simple lino block to create a repeat pattern. You will print using a printing press, but printing by hand will also be included so that you can continue working at home if you wish.
