Join local artist Merlyn from The Littlest Falcon to spend a creative day learning the art of single-colour lino printing.
We shall be printing greetings cards in this relaxed, hands-on three-hour session, perfect for beginners.
What to Expect:
Bring along a simple idea for your card design, this can be any theme you choose, though Summer is a perfect choice for this time of year. We’ll be working on lino blocks around 4×5.5” so keep that size in mind when planning.
Don’t worry about having it perfect before you arrive – there will be time to adjust, and Merlyn will be there to help with any advice.
You’ll learn various mark-making techniques and how to transfer your design onto your lino block. Once carved, you’ll be able to test print your block and make any adjustments before printing your final design. We’ll be printing by hand burnishing – a simple method you can easily replicate at home.
Materials:
We’ll work with lino blocks approximately 4×5.5” in size, printing onto 6x card blanks each.
Oil-based inks will be used (note: these take about a week to dry once you take your print home).
What to Bring:
Your own apron
Clothes you don’t mind getting inky – oil-based ink can stain
Any tools you’d like to use (optional)
£60 per person
